INSIGNIA OF THE SOCIETY
The insignia of the Society, the Huguenot Cross, is not only beautiful
and symbolic, but possesses the added charm afforded by the romance
of history and tradition. It recalls a period of valor, constancy, faithful-
ness, and loyalty to truth. It is becoming more and more a sign among
the descendants of the Huguenots throughout the whole world. It is
worn today with consciousness of pride and honor in many lands.
During the first World War, the Protestant Deaconesses of France
adopted its use for their Order, and many French soldiers fastened these
little silver crosses to their caps, as they left for the front. They desired in
this way to testify to their Protestant origins and to their Christian faith,
believing that if their valiant grandparents loved to carry them formerly
to their secret assemblies for worship in the desert, where they placed
themselves in danger of their lives, this venerable relic ought also to
fortify them in the line of battle and in the face of death, and hoping if
wounded to be in this way recognized by a Protestant nurse or chaplain.
It is frequently given today in the Huguenot families in France, by
the godmother, when she presents the new babe, smiling in its lace, for
baptism; to the youth as a remembrance of confirmation and of the first
Holy Communion; and at anniversaries of birth, marriage, Christmas, or
of New Year’s Day.
It is impossible to state precisely the period in which our Huguenot
ancestors adopted the usage of what they called Sainted Spirit. It cer-
tainly existed before the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes (1685). It
was worn as an emblem of their faith.

NOTES P^OR MEMBERS
MEMBERSHIP
The Huguenot Society of Pennsylvania enjoys the distinction of being
the largest Huguenot Society in the world. Members are enrolled from
thirty-five states, District of Columbia, Canal Zone, Hawaii, Cuba, Can-
ada, Mexico, and England.
Each member is urged to use the proposal for membership blank
enclosed in this Proceedings to recommend an applicant for membership.
The future of the Society is dependent upon the membership of today.
Address communications to the Chairman of Membership.
JUNIOR MEMBERSHIP
The youth of today are the members of tomorrow. Huguenot heritage
is a coveted and special heritage of any child. The Society has established
a remarkable Junior Membership Roll. All members are urged to enroll
their children and grandchildren in the Society so that they may receive
the values of the Huguenot way of life. Address communications to the
Chairman of Junior Membership.
LINEAGE BLANKS DATA
The Council has authorized that the information on completed line-
age blanks of members, on record in the files, be made available to mem-
bers to assist applicants in the completion of their blanks. Address com-
munications to the Registrar.
GENEALOGICAL QUERIES
The frequency of genealogical queries addressed to the Society
creates a challenge which it would like to meet. In almost eveiy case,
these queries require more investigation than the Officers of the Society
can undertake.
To meet this need, the Council has authorized the compilation of a
Directory of Genealogists and Research Workers which will be furnislied
to inquirers with a letter of explanation upon request to the Registrar.
LIBRARY OF THE SOCIETY
The Historical Society of Pennsylvania has been designated as the
Library of the Society. All books of Huguenot interest should be donated
in the name of The Huguenot Society of Pennsylvania. Such books will
be placed on the shelves bearing the special book-plate of the Soicety.
Address communications to the Librarian of the Society.
HISTORICAL ARTICLES
The Council of the Society is most desirous to further both research
and the writing of historical articles on the Huguenots. Articles dealing
with the Huguenots in France, in the countries in which they took refuge,
in America, and in Pennsylvania in particular will be most acceptable.
For the student of research in the Huguenot field the Society has
established a library at The Historical Society of Pennsylvania which is
adequate to supply the material for scholarly papers on various phases of
the Huguenot movement.
7
The Historian of the Society has been for years a student of history.
His interest in the Huguenot history has been unusual. He can be con-
sulted in the interest of the Society at all times.
Serious contributions, historically documented, will be reviewed by
the Society for publication in its Proceedings upon approval by the
Council. Address communications to the Historian of the Society.
PROCEEDINGS OF THE SOCIETY
Members in good standing receive the Proceedings from date of
their membership without charge. A list of such numbers of the Proceed-
ings as may be extant, with the price of same, may be had by a member
desiring copies, by request to the Financial Secretary.
STAND OF COLORS OF THE SOCIETY
The Society possesses a Stand of Colors composed of fourteen flags.
Members of the Society have the privilege of donating flags bearing en-
graved name plates on the staffs with special inscriptions.
It is hoped that members will consider it an honor and a privilege
to donate to the Society flags in memory of their Huguenot ancestors or
members of their families — thereby securing a “bit of Huguenot immor-
tality” as a worthy memorial for the family, its name, and its Huguenot
origins. Address communications to the Captain of the Color Guard or
to the President.
CERTIFICATES OF THE SOCIETY
Engraved certificates of membership bearing the personal notations
hand-lettered are issued to all new members. In event of loss or destruc-
tion of a certificate a member can have a certificate re-issued at the cost
of $2.50 upon request to the Registrar.
POCKET CARDS OF THE SOCIETY
Pocket cards are issued to annual members upon payment of the
dues of the current year. Life members have been issued pocket cards
of life membership. In event of loss of such cards they can be re-issued
upon request to the Financial Secretary.
STATIONERY OF THE SOCIETY
Stationery of the Society bearing the embossed insignia of the Society
and the name of the Society engraved below the insignia is available to
all members.
To purchase stationery which is available at J. E. Caldwell & Co.,
Philadelphia, a member must communicate with the Registrar and receive
an official order from the Registrar which must be presented to Caldwell
& Co. with each order.
The insignia of the Society can be obtained, at the cost noted, from

to wear as a lavalier.
The military weight is generally selected by men for formal wear.
The special weight is frequently worn by Officers of the Society.
Applications for permits to order crosses must be made to the Registrar.
ENDOWMENT FUND OF THE SOCIETY
At the November term of the Berks County Court, in 1929, the peti-
tion of the Society to be incorporated, was granted.
As a non-profit Corporation, the Society now possesses many valued
books, pamphlets, and papers, together with a permanent endowment
fund and a fund for the publication of articles of Huguenot historical
research.
In order that the work of the Society may be placed upon a more
permanent basis, members and friends are asked to make specific or
general bequests, using the form presented on page 127 of this volume
of Proceedings.
Address communications to the Financial Secretary. *
VITAL STATISTICS
Members of the Society are requested to notify the Registrar im-
mediately of change in residence and post office address, and change
of name by marriage. It is also requested that the death of a member
be reported to the Registrar by the family of the deceased or by a mem-
ber who may have knowledge of a death.
OBITUARIES OF DECEASED MEMBERS
The Society especially requests in the case of the death of a member
that the obituary notices of the current daily papers and a biography of
the deceased be forwarded for the permanent archives of the Society. A
member of the family or a friend should prepare this data and forward
it to the Recording Secretary. The biography should be a complete and
comprehensive one. It is the desire of the Society to present short biog-
raphies of its deceased members in the annual Proceedings if the co-
operation of the members can be obtained.

AUTUMN ASSEMBLY
Held at Old Swedes’ Church {Gloria Dei) Philadelphia
October 28, 1956 at 3:30 P.M.
Our members arrived early aided by a beautiful fall day and by
a desire to see. this old church edifice and its adjoining churchyard where-
in are buried many citizens who played important parts in the colonial
history of this city and commonwealth and even this nation itself. At the
appointed hour the Color Guard of the Society followed by the Society’s
officers, the church choir and clergy entered the sanctuary which was
now filled with the members of the Society and their guests. This service
on Reformation, so significant to Huguenots, was arranged and presided
over by our Chaplain and Rector of Old Swedes’ Church, Dr. John Craig
Roak, and assisted by our Honorary President, Dr. Charles E. Schaeffer.
Dr. Roak, for himself and the official bodies of the church welcomed
the Society. To these kind words the President responded:
Dr. Roak, Mr. Fox, Dr. Schaeffer, Dr. Sturgis, Honored Guests and
Distinguished Members of The Pennsylvania Huguenot Society:
It is now over two and a half centuries since Gloria Dei or Old
Swedes’ Church was started and it was destined to become a National
Shrine. Beyond the City of Brotherly Love — to the west and the north
were frontiers still to be conquered by the slowly increasing tides of
peoples of Europe who sought asylum from political oppression as well
as the right to worship God according to the dictates of their creed or
religious opinion.
The colonization and development of this new world of the 17th
century is one of the world’s greatest epics.
Religion binds man back to his Creator and instills allegiance to
God. Hope and Faith are imperative for the development of the power
that lies within the human heart. To the aching, troubled hearts of the
10
Huguenots “Peace” meant greater joy than the younger generation had
ever known.
Peace has been made by force; treaties of peace have been signed
under duress and the Huguenots knew that peace means more than
cessation from combat — it is the spirit of man. Human rights are sacred
only as they emanate from the divine spark within the soul of man.
The Huguenots need to worship and to follow a leader above and
beyond themselves is the unchanging testimony of history. Religion has
ever been the binding force of a nation.
It behooves us as descendants of these valiant Huguenots to be
able to answer the challenges of today that freedom shall be preserved
and the peace of mankind secured. It is therefore one part of our Hugue-
not duty to review and ponder the past. This will give us inspiration and
direction; and thus ensure the fulfillment of our moral obligation to
succeeding generations.
With his characteristic forcefulness Dr. Roak’s address demon-
strated the present day necessity for the adherence of those principles
which were found in our ancestors.
Following the service a reception was held and tea was served to
all of the members. To further enhance the color of the reception hall
and to the delight of our members the flags of the Society were approp-
riately displayed by the Color Guard.
Again our members had a special privilege. At the request of some,
Dr. Roak personally conducted a tour of the church, its yard, and
surrounding buildings.
The church service, the music of the choir, the inspiration of the
sermon, the display of the flags, the historical review as well as the
refreshment and opportunity to renew friendships and meet with other
Huguenot made the Assembly a complete and satisfying experience for
all members who attended.

William J. Dietrich, Jr., Rector of Calvary Church.

even before recorded history, have done these things that produced a
better world for people to live in.

RECEPTION AND LUNCHEON
The newly renovated ballroom of the Manheim Cricket Club in
Germantown, Pennsylvania was the setting for the reception and
luncheon. The tables together with the dining room were beautifully
decorated. Mrs. B. Ross Burritt marshalled the guests and arranged for
their seating. Two hundred and thirty guests and members were seated.
President White called upon Reverend William J. Dietrich, Jr., for
the Invocation.
Luncheon was served. The Committee again is to be complimented
on the selection of a delicious menu as well as the Cricket Club for its
fine hospitality and splendid service which was accorded to us.
Following the luncheon the President introduced the members and
guests at the head table. The Society was again honored by many dis-
tinguished guests. Mr. David Taylor, the speaker at the Church Service
and Mrs. Taylor. The President General of The National Huguenot
Society, Dr. Samuel B. Sturgis and Dr. Margaret Sturgis, Mrs. Thomas
R. White, Jr., The Honorary President of The National Huguenot Society

Wright Muckle and Mrs. Muckle, Dr. and Mrs. John Craig Roak, Dr.
Charles E. Schaeffer, Honorary President of The Huguenot Society of
Pennsylvania, Mr. and Mrs. Albert F. Koehler, of The Huguenot Society

not Society of Pennsylvania.
Dr. Sturgis, President General of The National Huguenot Society,
extended the best wishes of the National Society. Mr. Koehler extended
greetings from the Huguenot Society of New Jersey.
The President called Mrs. B. Ross Burritt who presented a citation
for the award of the Huguenot Cross to David Taylor. Mrs. Burritt
spoke as follows:
CITATION FOR AWARD OF HONORARY HUGUENOT CROSS
TO DAVID TAYLOR
by
Beatrice Swain Ross Burritt (Mrs. B. Ross)
Mr. President, Mr. President General, Distinguished Guests,
Ladies and Gentlemen:
David Taylor was bom in Aberdeen, Scotland, and is a naturalized
American Citizen. His first interest in history probably stemmed from
the fact that his Father required that he read Breasted’s Ancient History
text before he was permitted to read another Sherlock Holmes story.
He traveled widely with his parents and was familiar with the History
of Egypt, Persia and Mesopotamia, before he reached the age of
twenty-one. After receiving a Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering
from Robert Gordons College in Aberdeen, Mr. Taylor left Scotland in
1921 for warmer climates. For three years he lived in Hawaii, where he
was assistant engineer on a plantation. He became intrigued with radio
and built a small set on which he could tune in California. In 1924, afraid
14
that Island life might claim him forever, he left Hawaii for the West
Coast Mainland, determined to get into radio. For the next twenty years
he wrote and produced radio programs in California. By 1935 he had
written scripts for nearly five thousand sponsored radio programs.
In 1940, in California, David Taylor married Theodora Engstrom,
some of whose family were Orangemen from the North of Ireland. They
have one son, and are members of the Presbyterian Church. Eight years
ago, Mr. Taylor, with his wife and son, moved to Valley Forge, and
thence to Bucks County, Pennsylvania, where he immersed himself in
the study of American Revolutionary War History. They now live in
Elkins Park, Pennsylvania.
Mr. Taylor had been impressed with Washington's greatness while
still attending school in Scotland. One of his ancestors was an officer
under Cornwallis, who resigned his Commission because he came to
believe that the Rebel cause was just. The letters and diaries of his
ancestor were read to him as a child, and this interest spurred his re-
search at Valley Forge, Washington’s Crossing and other Historical sites.
At the suggestion of a friend, Mr. Taylor decided to write an historical
novel about this period. The result was “LIGHTS ACROSS THE DELA-
WARE” (Lippincott — 1954). It deals with Washingtons crossing of the
Delaware on Christmas Night, 1776. Mor recently, Mr. Taylor has
written his second novel “FAREWELL TO VALLEY FORGE” (Lip-
pincott — 1955), which describes the intrigue and revolutionary passion
of the desperate year of 1778, when Philadelphia was in the hands of
the British and Washington was encamped at Valley Forge. The Walt
Disney Studio has bought the rights to “FAREWELL TO VALLEY
FORGE” and is making of it a full length motion picture. Mr. Taylor
is most meticulous in his research and the History portrayed is truthful,
straight-forward and authentic, without the usual glossing over.
A third Book is now in the process of writing, entitled “THE
SWAMP FOX,” and should reach the bookshops by February, 1958.
This year, Mr. Taylor received the “Award of Merit” from the
Germantown Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution.
Mr. President from the foregoing information imparted to you, I
conclude as follows: Firstly, that David Taylor, because of his accom-
plishments in many fields of endeavor, has touched and enriched the lives
and knowledge of hundreds of thousands of men, women and children,
with Good, through the medium of both printed and written word. Sec-
ondly, that David Taylor personifies in every respect, the high standards
required of those upon whom the Honorary Huguenot Cross is bestowed.
Mr. President, it is my honor and privilege to present to you, David
Taylor, Engineer, Radio and Television Script Writer and Producer,
Historian, Author and Lecturer, for the Award of the Honorary Huguenot
Cross.
The President then presented the Huguenot Cross to Mr. David
Taylor, who responded that he was grateful and highly honored to
receive the Society's high award.
15
CITATION FOR AWARD OF GRAND HUGUENOT CROSS
TO FREDERICK S. FOX
by
Thomas Roberts White, Jr.
The President called Frederick S. Fox to the podium. The President
bestowed upon Mr. Fox the Grand Huguenot Cross and made these
remarks:
“In the history of The Huguenot Society of Pennsylvania a significant
event is recorded on November 5, 1928, as it was on this date Frederick
S. Fox was elected to its membership. To say that since his election to
membership he has served this Society would be a most inadequate de-
scription of the many hours of his time and the vast amount of effort
that he has not only wilfully, but so cheerfully expended, not only for
the Society collectively, but for our members individually. When he
joined The Huguenot Society of Pennsylvania thirty years ago even as
now he continues to be an active and a pre-eminently successful news-
paper executive. Despite the demands of this business activity and his
other many varied interests, he has always found time to attend to de-
tails, and by his counsel and sage advice to manage and direct the affairs
of this Society.
“The members of the Society early recognized the continuing contri-
bution of Frederick S. Fox. It was at the annual meeting of the Society
held at the Church of the Ascention in Norristown, Pennsylvania on
May 5, 1945, that he received the Society’s high honor and was awarded
The Huguenot Cross. Although repeatedly requested to be President of
this Society his characteristic modesty and humility always prevailed and
this honor he steadfastly refused, nevertheless always continuing to
assist and council the Society’s presidents even to this day. The memory
of the members of council does not recall nor do the records of the
council reflect any absence for Mr. Fox from any regular meeting of
the council. In 1953 Frederick S. Fox was elected Honorary President of
the Society in partial recognition and appreciation of his long and most
useful service to this Society.
“The council of this Society desiring to further honor Mr. Fox has
authorized me, as its President, to bestow on Frederick S. Fox honorary
membership for life. As an emblem of this membership I hereby grant
and bestow the Grand Huguenot Cross on our most distinguished mem-
ber, Frederick S. Fox.”
The President then thanked all of those members for their work in
making the occasion of another anniversary one that will be remem-
bered in keeping with fine traditions of this Society.
16
ANNUAL BUSINESS MEETING
The Fortieth Annual Meeting of The Huguenot Society of Pennsyl-
vania was held in Calvary Episcopal Church of Germantown, Philadel-
phia, immediately after the Church Service.
The President, Thomas R. White, Jr., announced that there was a
quorum present and called the meeting to order. He stated that since
the minutes of the last Annual Meeting were published in the last Pro-
ceedings, he would entertain a motion that the reading of these minutes
be dispensed with and that they be approved as written. Dr. Sturgis
made such a motion, which was duly seconded and passed.
The President then called on Mrs. Donaghy for the Treasurers
Report. As the complete report will be published, only the totals were
read at the meeting:

destroyed. Colonel White thanked Commander Boyer.

REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT
To the members of the Society assembled here at its Fortieth
Annual Meeting, it is my duty and pleasure to report to you concerning
the Society.
On Reformation Sunday, 28 October 1956, the Society held its Fall
Assembly at Gloria Dei ( Old Swedes’ ) Church, Philadelphia. Our Chap-
lain and the Rector of Gloria Dei, Dr. John Craig Roak, conducted the
service and gave the address to more than 230 of the members and their
guests. John K. Corbus, Captain, and the Color Guard displayed the flags
of the Society. Following the service Dr. Roak kindly consented and
personally conducted a tour through this old historic church and its
churchyard, both of which played so prominent a part in the early
history of our country and particularly the City of Philadelphia. The
ladies of the church had prepared a most delightful collation which fol-
lowed the reception held in the Parish House.
The Council of the Society has met regularly and has planned well
the work of the Society. The past Presidents and the Vice Presidents of
the Society continue to actively assist your President. All work in har-
mony for the good of the Society.
The Recording Secretary keeps accurate and complete records of
all proceedings of the Society.
Minutes of all meetings of the Council continue to be sent to all
members of the Council so that they may be fully informed of all busi-
ness transacted.
The Treasurer, Financial Secretary and Chairman of the Finance
Committee perform their duties in close cooperation. The quality of
work of these three is evidenced by the sound financial condition of the
Society.
The work of the Registrar is a difficult one. Sixty applications were
examined and approved for membership during the past year. The work
of the Registrar effectively assists the Society in maintaining its genea-
logical requirements.
The Membership Chairmen continue to perform yeoman service.
The membership of this Society is now 909 active members with 169
Junior members. Of all similar societies, none can compare with The
Huguenot Society in the interest created by our Junior membership
chairman.
Volume XXVIII of Annual Proceedings has been published and
sent to all members in order that the current activities of the Society
may be presented to all members and preserved for posterity.
The Color Guard now has 14 flags and is considering the acquisi-
tion of certain proposed additional flags.
The Society continues to support The National Huguenot Society
in every possible way. Our Honorary President, Dr. Samuel B. Sturgis,
22
has most recently been elected President General of the National So-
ciety. This is a well deserved honor for Dr. Sturgis. The National Society
by honoring him does much honor to the Pennsylvania Society.
Such has been the program of yom: Society during the past year.
It has indeed been a year of pleasure in which I have ever been mindful
of the high honor that has been mine in being the President of this
fine Society with its distinguished membership.
You should all understand that what has been accomplished was
done by the concerted effort of all members of the Council who have
labored many hours on your behalf in order that the Society may have
credit, honor and profit thereby.
Respectfully,
Thomas Roberts White, Jr.
President

REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT TO
THE NATIONAL HUGUENOT SOCIETY
April 19, 1957
Madam President General,
Members of The National Huguenot Society;
We of The Huguenot Society of Pennsylvania extend greetings to
the members of The National Huguenot Society assembled at the 21st
Annual Congress
Since our last Annual Report the Pennsylvania Society has continued
to make progress and to stimulate interest in matters pertaining to the
Huguenot. The Thirty-ninth Annual Assembly of the Society was held
on May 12, 1956 at the Reformed Church in Reading, Pa. This place
held particular interest for our Society in that it was in this Church that
the Society was founded and held its first meeting. Our Past President,
the distinguished Rev. Dr. Charles E. Schaeffer delivered the sermon.
More than 250 members and their guests attended a luncheon at the
Abraham Lincoln Hotel. The luncheon address was given by the Presi-
dent, Dr. Samuel B. Sturgis, who spoke on the subject “The Huguenot
Sources of William Penn’s Ideal of Religious Tolerance.” The Autumn
Assembly was held on Reformation Sunday in Old Swedes’ Church,
Philadelphia, when more than 230 of our members and guests listened to
an address of our Chaplain, Dr. John C. Roak, Rector of Old Swedes’
Church. The reception following the service was most delightful for all
who attended.
Our membership, including our Junior Membership is steadily in-
creasing and now number more than 1000. No resignations have been
received this year. Our finances are on a sound basis.
The next volume of our publication will shortly be off the press
and be distributed to our membership.
The Society continues to sponsor an Essay Contest among high
school students. Essays are written on a Huguenot subject and are
submitted to and received by a committee of the Society who selects
the three best for appropriate recognition and award by the Society.
The Society has indeed suffered great loss by the death of past
Treasurer and Council Member, Vincent Godshall.
Pennsylvania is justly proud of its Huguenot heritage. We strive
not only to perpetuate Huguenot tradition, but to disseminate Huguenot
ideals. Pennsylvania is happy to be a part of the National Society and
expresses its confidence in the aims and program of the National Hugue-
not Society.

PETER BEZILLION
1662-1742
PETER BEZILLION came to the Province prior to 1687 and was
a shrewd business man, well acquainted with the various Indian lang-
uages, and was frequently employed as an agent and interpreter for
the Provincial authorities. There are many references to him in the
Colonial records.
He was a French trader, living on the Schuylkill as early as 1690,
and soon after 1700 he removed to Lancaster County. He was an ex-
tensive land owner, a member of the Protestant Episcopal Church,
and at his death in 1742 left a legacy for St. John’s Parish.
His grave may be seen in St. John’s churchyard, on the Lancaster
turnpike, near the Lancaster and Chester County line. He died July 18,
1742, aged 80 years.
(Memorials of the Huguenots, by Stapleton, p. 88.)
JOHN BARTELEME (Bartholomew)
On the first ship on record of emigrants, on September 18, 1727, was
JOHN BARTELEME. This was an early family in Northampton
County. Henry Batholomew, who lived in Lehigh Township, Northamp-
ton County, in 1762, was born in 1728 and died in 1807. The descendants
are numerous and include a number of Reformed Church clergymen.
(Huguenot Soc. of Pa. Proceed., Vol. II-III, p. 35.)
JOHN ADAM BEIDINGER (Bittenger)
In 1736, arrived from Alsace, JOHN ADAM BEIDINGER, aged
39, and PETER BEIDINGER, aged 34 years. They were probably
brothers.
John Adam located near Abbotstown, Pennsylvania, where he died
in 1768. He was the father of Nicholas, Henry, Michael, Peter, Marellos,
George, Adam, Christian, Frederick, and Eve.
NICHOLAS BEIDINGER was bom in 1743 and died in 1804. He
married Marie C. Reinbold, who was born in 1708, and died 1812. He
was a prominent man in Colonial days. In the Revolution he served on
the Committee of Safety, and also as a Captain in Colonel Swope’s regi-
ment of the famous '‘Flying Camp,” that rendered such valuable services
in New York and New Jersey in 1776-77.
( Memorials of the Huguenots, by Stapleton, p. 123. )
HEINRICH BERRETT
HEINRICH BERRETT, aged 34 years, with his wife ANNA, aged
28, and children John, aged 8, Henry, aged 6, and Casper, aged 3, ar-
rived in Philadelphia on the Ship “Samuel,” on August 11, 1732, from
Rotterdam. On the ship’s list the name is spelled Beerett and Bereth.
His connection with Hellbarth Berrot, who located in Bucks County
32
in 1751, Jacques in Lancaster County in 1752, or Franz Ludwig of York
County, in 1738, if any, has not been established.
(Memorials of the Huguenots in America, by Stapleton, p. 126; Pa.
German Pioneers, by Strassburger, Vol. 1, p. 61-65.)
CHRISTION BERRETT
1712-1788
(Bury, Biry, Beary)
CHRISTIAN BERRETT arrived in Philadelphia on the Ship “Sam-
uel” from Rotterdam, qualified August 11, 1732. His name is Cliristian
Biry, 20 years of age on the Captains Listing; on B List, the name is
written Bury.
He was bom in 1712 and died in Coventry Township, Chester
County, Pennsylvania, in 1788, where he settled soon after his arrival.
His wife ANN died in 1804. According to his will they had
the following children:
1. Daniel.
2. Jacob.
3. Catharine.
4. Elizabeth.
His sons Daniel and Jacob both served in the War of the Revolution,
in Col. Davis’ Chester County Militia.
Although his name was written on the Ship List as Bury, Biry, and
Bory, and on later records as Berret and pronounced Berry, it is thought
he may have been a brother of Heinrich Berrett who came on the same
ship with his family.
(Pa. German Pioneers, by Strassburger, Vol. 1, p. 61-65; Memorials of
the Huguenots, by Stapleton, p. 149. )

minister.
(Huguenot Soc. of Pa. Proceed., Vol. 11-111, p. 40; Memorials of the
Huguenots, by Stapleton, p. 58.)
BOUDIN
(Bodin, Bodine)
The Bodines of New York and New Jersey have their origin in the
family of LeBoudin or deBoudain, and the antiquity of the surname is
attested by the French characters of the twelfth century, the family
having settled in Cambray, France, as early as 1126. In France the fam-
ily has borne an honorable part in war and in peace, and has given to
the world many noted characters.
JEAN BODINE, of the Cambray family, is said to have removed
to Medis, in the province of Sainton ge, France, where his son was born.
He was a Huguenot, and left the country of his nativity to seek refuge
in other lands, making a short stay, it is thought, in Holland and England
before coming to New York, where he arrived before November 3, 1677.
He settled on Staten Island before 1686, and died there during the latter
part of 1694. Of his wife and children we know nothing, except that he
had a son Jean.
(New Jersey Genealogies, by F. B. Lee, Vol. IV, p. 1368.)
BOUNETHEAU
Henry Brontnell Bounetheau was born December 14, 1797, in
Charleston, South Carolina, and died January 31, 1877. He was the son
of Peter Bownetheau, an officer of Huguenot descent who fought in the
American Revolution.
He married Clarkson Dupre, and died in Charleston, South Caro-
lina. They had at least one son, Henry Dupre Bounetheau, who lost his
life in the great fire at Jacksonville, Florida, in 1901.
(Diet, of American Biography, by Charles Scribners Sons, 1929; Vol. II,
p. 480.)
BOUTON (Boughton)
JOHN BOUTON, a native of France, was born 1580. He came to
America from Gravesend, England, in July, 1635. After arriving in
Boston in December, 1635, he settled in Norwalk, Connecticut, where
he became one of its most influential citizens. He was a proprietor and
for many years a Representative to the General Court.
John Bouton, his twin Harold and another brother Noel were all
Huguenots and sons of Nicholas Bouton, Count Chamelly Baron Mon-
tague de Naton. John Bouton fled to England and later came to America.
His brother Noel Bouton returned to France after the persecutions, be-
came Marquis of Chamelly and was made Marshal of all France.
35
It is claimed that all branches of the early families bearing this name
in America were descended from John Bouton.

Sons, Albany N.Y.; London Register of Emigrants, p. 182; Hist, of Nor-
walk, Conn., by Hall. )

1687, first in Maine, and three years later, during the Indian Wars, in
Boston, Massachusetts.
His son JAMES BOWDOIN became one of the leading merchants
of America, and at the time of his death in 1747, had accumulated what

same year.
(Orig. Settlers List, Annapolis State Library, and Maryland Arch., Vol.
Ill, p. 424, 465.)
BREVARD
The Brevard family acted a very important part during the Revo-
lutionary struggle.
The first one of the name of whom anything is known, was a French
Huguenot. He left his native land on the Revocation of the Edict of
Nantes, going to the northern part of Ireland among the Scotch-Irish.
He there formed an acquaintance with a family of McKnitts. In com-
pany with them he set sail for the American shores. Of this family was
a pretty young lassie, who became his wife. They settled on the waters
of Elk River, in Maryland. They had children:
1. John.
2. Robert.
3. Zebulon.
4. Benjamin.
5. Adam.
6. Elizabeth.
Of these, the three elder brothers, with their sister and her husband,
went to North Carolina between 1740 and 1750.
John Brevard, the eldest brother, before leaving the state of his
father s adoption, married a sister of Dr. McWhorter, a Presbyterian
36
minister, who also came to North Carolina, after the war. Then Dr.
McWhorter returned to the north.

Rev. John Conrad Bucher was born June 10, 1730. He was educated
at the Universities of Basil and St. Gall. He was a great scholar and
preached in French, English and German. He came from Schoff hausen,

were French Huguenots.
(Gen. Scroll in Pa. Hist. Soc., Phila., Pa.)
BUCKEY (Bouquet)
Jacob Buckey, who arrived in Philadelphia in 1743, and located in
Buckeytown, is an instance of how a name may be disguised under a
phonetic form. The original was Bouquet, and represented a family
despoiled by persecutions and scattered to England where they appear
among the refugess, and to Switzerland, from whence came General
Henry Bouquet, who, as a British officer, rendered such valuable service
to our colonies on the frontiers.
37
BURKHARD
Nicholas Burkhard was born in 1722, and died in 1796 at the age
of seventy-four. He came from Switzerland to Pennsylvania in 1750 and
settled in Bristol Township, Philadelphia County. His wife was named
CATHARINE . His will, dated November, 1796, and probated
December 12, 1796, names his wife Catherine and children:
1. Margaret.

(Diet. Historique et Biographique de La Suisse, Vol. 2, p. 361.)
BUSHONG
(Jean Bearichamp)
John Bushong a French Huguenot, arrived in Philadelphia, Pa. in Sep-
tember of 1731. He immediately went into what was later Lancaster
County and took up land near what is now Heller’s Church. The Bush-
ongs who reside in this township are descendants of this John Bushong,
who had a family of six boys and three girls:
1. John.
2. Philip.
3. Peter.
4. Henry.
5. Jacob.
6. David.
7. Mary.

In 1737, his wife died and he married a second time.
His son Peter Bushong emigrated to Virginia, where a prominent
branch of the family still reside. Jacob Bushong, another of his sons,
went to Berks County, and David went to Illinois. Philip Bushong in-
herited his father’s estate.
(Hist, of Lancaster Co., Pa., by Ellis & Evans, p. 923-4.)
CALDWELL
The Caldwell family is of French origin. According to tradition,
one branch went to Scotland; from there several of the family went to
Ireland, then came to America, finally settling in Charlotte County,
Virginia.
John Caldwell descended from the French Huguenot family which
fled from France to Scotland, and then to Ireland, where he married
MARGARET PHILLIPS. They migrated to America and lived in Vir-
ginia. He died in 1750. He had a brother William, who came to America.
William settled in Pennsylvania.
38
WILLIAM WADDELL CALDWELL was among the early settlers
and located near Green Castle, Franklin County, Pennsylvania. Later,
when his son Stephen grew to manhood, he moved to a southern state.
His career there is unknown. The date of his death is not known, but
his will is on file in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania.
It is said that he and several brothers and sisters who came to
America, most of whom settled first in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
Later some moved westward and to Virginia.
Wilham had a son Robert born 1722 and died 1790. He married
Margaret . They had children:
1. John.
2. James.
3. William.
4. George.
5. Joseph.
6. Margaret.
7. Agnes.
8. Mary.
9. Eliza.
CALDWELL
Rev. James Caldwell was bom April 17, 1734, in a settlement of
Charlotte County, Virginia, called “Cub Creek,” and was the youngest
of seven children. His parents later came to New Jersey. He graduated
from Princeton College in 1759.
His ancestors were Huguenots, driven from France to England, then
went to Scotland, and later to Ireland, from which place his father emi-
grated to this country. He thus inherited a spirit of independence and
of resistance which made him from the outset of our trouble enlist heart
and soul in the cause of American independence. At the first call to
arms, he offered his services and was elected chaplain.
His wife was HANNAH, a daughter of Jonathan Ogden, of New-
ark. She was killed at Connecticut Farms by a shot from a British
soldier, June 25, 1780. He also was killed by a shot from a sentinel at
Elizabethtown Point, November 24, 1781.
(The Chaplains & Clergy of the Revolution, by T. H. Headley, p. 217.)
CANDEE (de CONDE)
Early in the sixteenth century, a Huguenot family named de Conde
fled from France and took up their residence in Scotland. One of tlie
family later emigrated to America and settled near Boston in 1639. This
was Jean de Conde, the first settler of the name in America.
His son, Zaechous Conde, was born in 1640, the first-born of the
family on this continent, from whom all of those bearing the name of
Condee in America are descended.
CARRE
This family was numerous, and several of its members went into
exile after the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes.
39
Louis is thought to have been a descendant of the eminent Jean
Carre, pastor for nearly fifty years (1618 to 1665) of the Protestant
Church in his native town, Chatellerault.
Louis and his wife, PREGEANTE FLEURIAN, reached the city of
New York in June, 1688. (Certificate of their naturalization, dated Lon-
don, April 5, 1688, was entered in the records of the Common Council,
New York, June 14, in the same year.)
Carre soon became one of the principal merchants of the city, and
his children married into several influential families. He was an “ancien*
of the French Church in 1713 and in 1724. He died May 29, 1744, aged
eighty-five years. His widow, whose ame Pregeante became transmuted
to Rridget, died June 13, 1750, aged ninety-one years.

The ancestors of the family were French Huguenots, and owned,
as early as 1760, large tracts of land on the St. Augustine Creek, travers-
ing a broad area from the waters of the Chesapeake Bay, on the Bo-

DePEW
(DePui, Depew)
Among the early settlers in the Minisink Flats, near the Delaware
Water Gap, in Monroe County, Pennsylvania, was Samuel DePew, who
located first on the New Jersey side of the Delaware in 1697. Later, he
purchased from the Indians, a large body of land on the Pennsylvania
side on which the village of Shawnee is located.
Nicholas DePui (DePew), a son of Samuel, settled on the Delaware
about 1725. He was a man of considerable means and ability, and
erected the first grist mill in this region. He was a member of the Council
of Safety which met December 24, 1774, at Easton, to consider the
threatening relations of the Colonies, with the Mother country.
During the Revolution, Nicholas, Jr., and Benjamin DePui, his

probably others.
CHOLLETTE
Jean Baptiste Chollette was a French refuge from the Island of St.
Domingo, during the great insurrection of the blacks, when the white
people were expelled. Owing to the destruction of all papers and records,
no further record of the Chollette family can be found.
JEAN BAIH’ISTE CHOLLETTE married MARY GILBERT, Janu-
ary 17, 1793. Mary was born November 10, 1763, and died August 24,

DUCHE FAMILY
The Duche family, one of the most eminent in America, descends
from JACQUES DUCHE, who fled from La Rochelle to London in 1682,
with his wife, MARY, and eight children. The founder of the American
branch was a son of Anthony, who came to Philadelphia in 1700, and
died in 1762, at a very advanced age. He left three sons, Anthony, Jr.,
who died in 1772; Jacob, born in Philadelphia in 1708, and died in Lam-
beth, England, in 1788; and Andrew, the youngest son of the immigrant,
who died in Philadelphia in 1778.
Jacob Duche, son of Jacques and Mary Duche, was the father of
the Rev. Jacob Duche, an eminent Episcopal divine, who was rector of
Christ Church, Philadelphia, and had the distinction of opening the first
Continental Congress with prayer.

Baird, Vol. 1, p. 294-5. )
DUPONCEAU
Pierre S. Duponceau was born on the Isle of Rhe, France, in 1760,
his father being an officer then stationed at that place. He was given an
excellent education, and when still a youth was fired with an ambition to
come to America and assist the struggling Colonies. He took a position as
an aide on the staff of Baron Steuben and served in that capacity from
1777 to 1779 when, becoming an American citizen, he accepted a position
as a secretary in the Foreign Office of the Colonial Government. He was
a great student and became celebrated as a lawyer, linguist and scientist,
and was the President of the American Philosophical Society for many
years. He died in Philadelphia in 1844.
( Memorials of the Huguenots, by Stapleton, p. 35. )
FIELD (De La Field)
The ancestor of the Field family, the first of whom there is any
record, is Hubertus de la Field, who went to England with William the
Conqueror in the year 1066 from near Colmar in Alsace, on the German
border of France. He was of the family of the Counts de la Feld.
Hubertus de la Feld received large grants of land for military serv-
ices. In the fourteenth century, he dropped the French prefix, De La,
in England and wrote the name Field.
Robert Field, Sr., a descendant, came to America, it is claimed, with
Winthrop and Saltonstall, and settled in Flushing.
He was baptized in Halifax Parish in Sowersby, England, March 9,
1605. He married, first in Halifax, November 23, 1624, RUTH FAIR-
BANK, of Hepperholms. She died and he married, second, at Bradford,
May 18, 1630, ELIZABETH TAYLOR. She died, and he married CHAR-
ITY, who survived him, and was living as his widow in 1673. He came
42
to America between 1629 and 1640, and founded a home in the new
world. In 1638, we find the name of Robert Field associated with Roger
Williams.
He had the following children, and probably others:
1. John, bapt. in Halifax, Eng., Dec. 25, 1625.
2. Robert, b. about 1631; d. Feb. 13, 1691; m. Susannah .
3. Anthony, b. about 1638, probably in R.I.
4. Benjamin, b. 1640; m. Sarah .
5. Hannah.
6. Elizabeth.

GERHARDT FISCUS was born in Alsace in 1715. He came to Penn-
sylvania in 1744 on the ship “Phoenix” from Rotterdam, Holland, which
arrived in Philadelphia, October 20, 1744. He is listed as Gerhardt Fiscuss.
He settled in the western part of Pennsylvania in what is now West-
moreland County, near the village of Lycippus. Here he owned a large
farm. The name of his wife and children we do not know, except that of
one daughter, Catharine Fiscus, who married David Reitenauer at some
date between 1785 and 1795.

We have no record of his daughters, but the sons, Joseph Fleury
(Flora) and John, took up land in Rapho Township in 1746. They paid in-
terest on their tract from March 1737.
JOSEPH FLEURY, JR., was born in 1714 and died in 1785, in
Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. He is buried in the Paxtang Churchyard

FLORY - FLEURY
JOHANNES, ADOLPH and GEORGE FLORY, three brothers, came
to Pennsylvania on the ship “John and Elizabeth” from Amsterdam and
Portsmouth, which arrived in Philadelphia, November 7, 1754. On the
Ship Lists the name is written Flory, Flure, Florin and Flohri.
Johannes Flory first settled in Germantown; he married, and their
first son was born there. Later he was in Williams Township in North-
ampton County, Pennsylvania, where Adolph Flory had settled, and
finally Johannes moved to Virginia.
Abraham Fleury was naturalized in Philadelphia in 1743.
(Pa. German Pioneers, by Strassburger, Vol. 1, p. 667, 669-671.)
FLORIO
JOHN FLORIO was born about 1553, and died in 1625. His wife
was ROSE DANIEL, sister of Samuel Daniel, poet laureate, who died
about 1619.
John Florio was an author. He was the son of Michael Angelo Florio,
a Florentine Protestant who fled to England to escape religious persecu-
tion. In 1550, he was preacher to a congregation of Italian Protestants in
London. In the will of John Florio, he named his daughter, Aurial, wife
of James Molines, a surgeon.
James Molines and wife Aurial were the parents of William Mullins
(Mulines), who came to America on the Mayflower, in 1620.
(Mayflower History, Alden Kindred Bulletin, p. 6, Dec. 1926.)
FORNEY (Farnie)
CHRISTINE FARNIE, aged 27, arrived in Pennsylvania in 1734 on
the ship “Hope Galley” from Rotterdam and qualified in Philadelphia
Court House, September 23, 1734. With him were Anna Eliza Farnie,
aged 23 years, and Catharine Farnie, aged 29. No doubt these names
represent his wife and sister.
He is probably a brother of Peter, Sr., as he seems to have gone to
Lancaster County soon after his arrival. He is found there early, and the
fact that Anna, the minor daughter of Peter Forney, Sr., chose Christian
Forney for her guardian, leads us to believe he was a brother of Peter.
(Pa. German Pioneers, by Strassburger, Vol. 1, p. 143, 145, 146.)

FREEBY
(Jean Friebe)
JOHN FREEBY (Jean Friebe), with his wife and children, arrived
in Philadelphia, August 19, 1796, on ship “Holland” from Amsterdam.
The Friebes had been in Holland for some years, whence they had
fled from persecution. John, their descendant, was the first to be able
to get to America. On the ship’s list their names are given as Jean Friebe,
his wife ANNA MARIE, and children: M. Catharine, Jean George, Jean
Henry, and Christian.
They settled at once in Berks County, where another daughter Mar-
garet Elizabeth was born, November 30, 1797, and baptized in the Oley
Hill Church, January 26, 1798. The family remained in Berks County,
Pennsylvania, until about 1813, when they removed to Montgomery
County, Pennsylvania, where he purchased a farm. The deed is dated
April 1, 1813, and refers to John Friebe as then of Hereford Township,
Berks County, Pennsylvania. John Friebe died in 1823; his wife Anna
Marie died soon after the birth of Elizabeth, he later married MARY
, who survived him. Their children are:
1. Marie Catharine, b. in Holland.

The last two children may be children by the second wife.
FREER (Hugue Frere)
HUGO FREER, the founder of the family in New Paltz and else-
where in this country, was one of the New Paltz patentees. He was one
of the last of the little band to arrive at Kingston.
There is no mention of his name prior to the purchase of the New
Paltz patent from the Indians, in 1677. He probably had just arrived in
the country at that time. He was accompanied by his wife MARY II AYE
and their three eldest children, Hugh, Abraham, and Isaac.
Hugo Freer was born in 1668 in France, died in 1706-7. He was

FRUIT
JOHN FRUIT, the father, was born in France in 1695 and fled from
there to Scotland during the persecutions of the Huguenots. He met and
married in Scotland, in 1721-2, HANNAH , bom in Scotland in
1700. She was a Covenanter, and on account of fierce persecutions fled
from Scotland to Ireland and then to America. John Fmit died in 1735
on the voyage to America. Hannah, the wife and mother, died after 1735.
It is said they had six children, a son who died and was buried at sea,
a second son who died soon after they landed here, three daughters, and
Robert who was then three years old.
ROBERT FRUIT was bora in Londonderry, in 1732; he died in
February of 1820. He married before 1700, CATHARINE McCLURE,
who died in 1813. They are the ancestors of all bearing this name in
Pennsylvania. He went to Buffalo Valley, in 1773, bought a farm one
mile north of Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, on the west branch of the Sus-
quehanna River, which neighborhood now bears the name of Fruitstown,
where he and his family lived until the spring of 1813, when his wife
Catharine died. Robert Fruit then removed to Derry, near Fruitstown,
Pennsylvania, where he lived with his son Robert Fruit, Jr., and his son’s
wife Maria (Nevius) Fruit until his death in February of 1820.

nal of History of Representatives of Pa., 1776-1781; Register of Pa., Fifth-
ians Journal, Pa. Archives.)
GATTEAU
(Gasteau, Gateau, Casto, Casteau, Gattow)
NICHOLAS GATTEAU, the founder of the Philadelphia family,
arrived here very early. He was naturalized in 1704. The exact date of
his arrival or who accompanied him we do not know, but it is believed
that he brought his wife with him as in the records of the Christ Church,
Philadelphia, were that FRANCES GATTOW, wife of Nicholas, was
buried August 15, 1713. His second marriage is also recorded as March
30, 1714, to MARY RUTHEROR.
He was a man of means and in his Will he names the Christ Church
Building and poor prisoners in Common Goal in Philadelphia. He also
names his wife Mary and sister-in-law Ann Rotheror. No children are
named, therefore it is believed the children were of the first marriage.

Church P. E. Phila., Pa., Vol. VII, p. 4023; Vol. V, p. 2706. Will.)

side of the river and became one of the first and most active families
of Lynn.
Of the wife and mother of his children we have no record. He mar-
ried, secondly, Deborah Jones, on March 21, 1697-8. It is said she was

a very advantageous marriage settlement upon her, and finally involved
him in a law suit with the widow of his eldest son.

de NEUS
(Nyce, Neise)
HANS de NEUS, the pioneer of this family, was French by birth.
On account of religious persecution, he was obliged to flee from France
to Holland. From there he came to Philadelphia with his wife JENNEKA.
This name is decidedly Hollandish, and no doubt they were married
there. They arrived in America about 1683.
He purchased in 1699, fifty-two acres of land in the Northern Lib-
erties in Philadelphia; a number of deeds follow to and from Hans Neus.
That part of the city in which he owned considerable land became
known as Nicetown, by which name it is known to the present day. Al-
though he owned land in other parts of the city, he never lived any-
where except on his plantation in the Northern Liberties.
Hans Neus died July 19, 1738, Jenneka, his wife, died September
11, 1763. Their burial place has not been found, but undoubtedly they
were buried on their own plantation, as was the custom of those early days.
They had children:
1. Cornelius.
2. John, b. 1698, d. 1743; m. Anna Maria (Mary) .
3. Anthony.
4. Eleanor.

DOZ
Andrew Doz was among the original citizens of Philadelphia and
vicinity. He was a refugee and was brought over by William Penn in
1685 as his vine dresser. In 1690, he was granted, by the founder for
his services, a plantation of two hundred acres of land, including the
vineyards on the Schuylkill River. His wife was named ANN; she was
living in 1707.
Ann Doz, their daughter, married June 19, 1705, Anthony Duche,
and they were the parents of the Rev. Jacob Duche, an eminent Epis-
copal divine.
Andrew Doz, grandson, also named Andrew, was a very public
spirited citizen and magnificently endowed a number of charitable and
religious institutions in Philadelphia.
( Memorials of the Huguenots, by Stapleton, p. 48, 151.)
DOZIER (D’Orier)
About 1885, there was found in the ruins of an old fort near St.
Augustine, Florida, the name of Marquis D’Ozier and since a body of
Huguenots fled to America and settled in that region, it is possible that
he was the first of the name and ancestor of the family in America. How-
ever, this is a mere conjecture, but it is not without significance, and in
the future may be proved correct.
The earliest of whom we have known proof is LEONARD DOZIER,
of Lunnenburg County, Virginia, born 1710, who came from England
to Virginia prior to 1750. His wife was ANN . They had a son
William Dozier, born 1728 and died 1797, who married Elizabeth ,
born in England in 1731 and died in Lincoln County, West Virginia,
in 1794.
There were probably other children, but this is the only one of whom
we have any record.

He was a Protestant, and prominent as a Methodist. He erected a
brick house, which was one of the first and finest in Pittsburgh, where
he dispersed generous hospitality- He entertained the Marquis De Lafay-
ette during his return visit to America in 1825, and also Louis Phillippi,
then an exile, but later the King of France.
He married and had the following children:
1. Pierre.

3. William.
4. John.
5. Antoine.

among the refugees to various Protestant countries, and also on the
lists of galley slaves. A refugee family of this name, the head of which
has not been ascertained, located in Lancaster County at an early date.
Two sons are definitely know, namely, NICHOLAS and Henry Baldy

Upon his arrival in Pennsylvania, JACOB EGE, the eldest, pro-
ceeded at once to Virginia to seek a home, and soon decided to settle in
the newly planned city of Richmond. He married in 1740, Maria Doro-

awnee Creek, near the Blue Mountains.
HENRY FRANTZ, son of Anthony, secured a warrant of land, No-

George Goedecke was born 1734 in Germany and died in 1817.
He was a descendant of a French Huguenot, who, seeking to escape re-
ligious persecution, fled from his native country to Germany. The name
Goedecker originated from the relations he sustained in reference to the
great Huguenot movement, belonging to a company of Huguenot re-
serves. He married Catharine Henkel, who was born of Huguenot an-
cestry in 1744. She died in 1838.
This marriage resulted in the birth of five sons, as follows:

INSIGNIA OF THF SOCIETY
The insignia of the Society, the Huguenot Cross, is not only beautiful
and symbolic, but possesses the added charm afforded by the romance
of history and tradition. It recalls a period of valor, constancy, faithful-
ness, and loyalty to truth. It is becoming more and more a sign among
the descendants of the Huguenots throughout the whole world. It is
worn today with consciousness of pride and honor in many lands.
During the first World War, the Protestant Deaconesses of France
adopted its use for their Order, and many French soldiers fastened these
little silver crosses to their caps, as they left for the front. They desired in
this way to testify to their Protestant origins and to their Christian faith,
believing that if their valiant grandparents loved to carry them formerly
to their secret assemblies for worship in the desert, where they placed
themselves in danger of their lives, this venerable relic ought also to
fortify them in the line of battle and in the face of death, and hoping if
wounded to be in this way recognized by a Protestant nurse or chaplain.
It is frequently given today in the Huguenot families in France, by
the godmother, when she presents the new babe, smiling in its lace, for
baptism; to the youth as a remembrance of confirmation and of the first
Holy Communion; and at anniversaries of birth, marriage, Christmas, or
of New Year's Day.
It is impossible to state precisely the period in which our Huguenot
ancestors adopted the usage of what they called Sainted Spirit. It cer-
tainly existed before the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes (1685). It
was worn as an emblem of their faith.

NOTES FOR MEMBERS
MEMBERSHIP
The Huguenot Society of Pennsylvania enjoys the distinction of being
the largest Huguenot Society in the world. Members are enrolled from
a majority of the States of the Union.
Each member is urged to recommend an applicant for membership.
The future of the Society is dependent upon the membership of today.
Address communications to the Chairman of Membership.
JUNIOR MEMBERSHIP
The youths of today are the members of tomorrow. Huguenot heritage
is a coveted and special heritage of any child. The Society has established
a remarkable Junior Membership Roll. All members are urged to enroll
their children and grandchildren in the Society so that they may receive
the values of the Huguenot way of life. Address communications to the
Chairman of Junior Membership.
LINEAGE BLANKS DATA
The Council has authorized that the information on completed line-
age blanks of members, on record in the files, be made available to mem-
bers to assist applicants in the completion of their blanks. Address com-
munications to the Registrar.
GENEALOGICAL QUERIES
The frequency of genealogical queries addressed to the Society
creates a challenge which it would like to meet. In almost every case,
these queries require more investigation than the Officers of the Society
can undertake.
To meet this need, the Council has authorized the compilation of a
Directory of Genealogists and Research Workers which will be furnished
to inquirers with a letter of explanation upon request to the Registrar.
LIBRARY OF THE SOCIETY
The Historical Society of Pennsylvania has been designated as the
Library of the Society. All books of Huguenot interest should be donated
in the name of The Huguenot Society of Pennsylvania. Such books will
be placed on the shelves bearing the special bookplate of the Society.
Address communications to the Librarian of the Society.
HISTORICAL ARTICLES
The Council of the Society is most desirous to further both research
and the writing of historical articles on the Huguenots. Articles dealing
with the Huguenots in France, in the countries in which they took refuge,
in America, and in Pennsylvania in particular will be most acceptable.
For the student of research in the Huguenot field the Society has
5
established a library at The Historical Society of Pennsylvania which is
adequate to supply the material for scholarly papers on various phases of
the Huguenot movement.
The Historian of the Society has been for years a student of history.
His interest in the Huguenot history has been unusual. He can be con-
sulted in the interest of the Society at all times.
Serious contributions, historically documented, will be reviewed by
the Society for publication in its Proceedings upon approval by the
Council. Address communications to the Historian of the Society.
PROCEEDINGS OF THE SOCIETY
Members in good standing receive the Proceedings from date of
their membership without charge. A list of such numbers of the Proceed-
ings as may be extant, with the price of same, may be had by a member
desiring copies, by request to the Historian.
STAND OF COLORS OF THE SOCIETY
The Society possesses a Stand of Colors composed of fourteen flags.
Members of the Society have the privilege of donating flags bearing en-
graved name plates on the staffs with special inscriptions.
It is hoped that members will consider it an honor and a privilege
to donate to the Society flags in memory of their Huguenot ancestors or
members of their families — thereby securing a “bit of Huguenot immor-
tality” as a worthy memorial for the family, its name, and its Huguenot
origins. Address communications to the Captain of the Color Guard or
to the President.
CERTIFICATES OF THE SOCIETY
Engraved certificates of membership bearing the personal notations
hand-lettered are issued to all new members. In event of loss or destruc-
tion of a certificate a member can have a certificate reissued at the cost
of $2.50 upon request to the Registrar.
POCKET CARDS OF THE SOCIETY
Pocket cards are issued to annual members upon payment of the
dues of the current year. Life members have been issued pocket cards
of life membership. In event of loss of such cards they can be reissued
upon request to the Financial Secretary.
STATIONERY OF THE SOCIETY
Stationery of the Society bearing the embossed insignia of the Society
and the name of the Society engraved below the insignia is available to
all members.
To purchase stationery which is available at J. E. Caldwell & Co.,
Philadelphia, a member must communicate with the Registrar and receive
an official order from the Registrar which must be presented to Caldwell
& Co. with each order.

The insignia of the Society can be obtained, at the cost noted, from
the following;
Charles G. Willson Co., 510 Penn Square, Reading, Pa.

to wear as a lavalier.
The military weight is generally selected by men for formal wear.
The special weight is frequently worn by Officers of the Society.
Applications for permits to order crosses must be made to the Registrar.
ENDOWMENT FUND OF THE SOGIETY
At the November term of the Berks County Court, in 1929, the peti-
tion of the Society to be incorporated, was granted.
As a non-profit Corporation, the Society now possesses many valued
books, pamphlets, and papers, together with a permanent endowment
fund and a fund for the publication of articles of Huguenot historical
research.
In order that the work of the Society may be placed upon a more
permanent basis, members and friends are asked to make specific or
general bequests, using the form presented on page 121 of this volume
of Proceedings.
Address communications to the Corresponding Secretary.
VITAL STATISTICS
Members of the Society are requested to notify the Registrar im-
mediately of change in residence and post office address, and change
of name by marriage. It is also requested that the death of a member
be reported to the Registrar by the family of the deceased or by a mem-
ber who may have knowledge of a death.
OBITUARIES OF DECEASED MEMBERS
The Society especially requests in the case of the death of a member
that the obituary notices of the current daily papers and a biograpliy of
the deceased be forwarded for the permanent archives of the Society. A
member of the family or a friend should prepare this data and forward
it to the Recording Secretary. The biography sliould be a complete and
comprehensive one. It is the desire of the Society to present short biog-
raphies of its deceased members in the annual Proceedings if the co-
operation of the members can be obtained.

Autumn Assembly
October 27, 1957
Held at Haws Avenue Methodist Church, Norristown, Pa.
The Autumn Assembly was held at the Haws Avenue Methodist
Church, Norristown, Pa. The Program Committee arranged a very
pleasant and informative meeting. Unfortunately, the meeting was poorly
attended due to the “flu” epidemic at that time. Many members of the
Council and the Minister of the Church were stricken. Dr. G. Hall Todd
was the speaker for the day.
After the services tea was served in the Sunday School room.

followed by the Officers, Councillors, Speaker, and the Clergy.
The service was conducted by the Chaplain, Dr. John Craig Roak,
assisted by Honorary President, Dr. Charles E. Schaeffer.
The President of Ursinus College, Dr. Norman McClure, welcomed
the Society to the College, and Dr. Schaeffer graciously accepted on
behalf of the Society.
The address was given by the Hon. Edward D. Griffith, Judge of
Common Pleas Court, Philadelphia, and a prominent Presbyterian
layman.
The order of service was as follows:

him in trouble; 1 will deliver him, and bring him to honour.
16 With long life will I satisfy him, * and show him my salvation.
Glory be to the Fatlier, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, * world
without end. Amen.

Almighty God, who has given us this good land for our heritage;
We humbly beseech thee that we may always prove ourselves a people
mindful of thy favour and glad to do thy will. Bless our land with
honourable industry, sound learning, and pure manners. Save us from
violence, discord, and confusion; from pride and arrogancy, and from
10
every evil way. Defend our liberties, and fashion into one united people
the multitudes brought hither out of many kindreds and tongues. Endue
with the spirit of wisdom those to whom in thy Name we entrust the
authority of government, that there may be justice and peace at home,
and that, through obedience to thy law, we may show forth thy praise
among the nations of the earth. In the time of prosperity, fill our hearts
with thankfulness, and in the day of trouble, suffer not our trust in thee
to fail; all which we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
A General Thanksgiving.
* Almighty God, Father of all mercies, we, thine unworthy servants,
do give thee most humble and hearty thanks for all thy goodness and
loving kindness to us, and to all men; We bless thee for our creation,
preservation, and all the blessings of this life; but above all, for thine
inestimable love in the redemption of the world by our Lord Jesus
Christ; for the means of grace, and for the hope of glory. And, we be-
seech thee, give us that due sense of all thy mercies, that our hearts
may be unfeignedly thankful; and that we show forth thy praise, not
only with our lips, but in our lives, by giving up ourselves to thy service,
and by walking before thee in holiness and righteousness all our days;
through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with thee and the Holy Ghost,
be all honour and glory, world without end. Amen.
A Prayer of St. Chrysostom.
Almighty God, who hast given us grace at this time with one accord
to make our common supplications unto thee; and dost promise that
when two or three are gathered together in thy Name thou wilt grant
their requests; Fulfil now, O Lord, the desires and petitions of thy serv-
ants, as may be most expedient for them; granting us in this world
knowledge of thy truth, and in the world to come life everlasting. Amen.
2 Cor. xiii. 14.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the
fellowship of the Holy Ghost, be with us all evermore. Amen.

ANNUAL BUSINESS MEETING
The Forty-first Annual Meeting of The Huguenot Society of Penn-
sylvania was held in the Chapel of Ursinus College, immediately after
the Church Service.
The President, Colonel Thomas R. White, Jr., announced that there
was a quorum present and called the meeting to order. He stated that
since the minutes of the last Annual Meeting would be published in the
Proceedings, he would entertain a motion that the reading of the min-
utes be dispensed with and that they be approved as written. Mr. Cris-
pin made such a motion, which was duly seconded and passed.
Colonel White then made a brief President’s report. He stated that
the Council had met bimonthly, the meetings were well-attended and
much was accomplished. The Autumn Assembly was held in Norris-
town and, though well-planned, was poorly attended due to the “flu”
epidemic at that time. Many members of the Council and the minister
were stricken. He stated that the financial condition of the Society was
sound, that dues were current, that while not amassing a fortune, the
Society was able to meet all obligations. The membership was on the
increase and the foresight of previous officers was bearing fruit. The
junior members taken in a number of years ago were now becoming
seniors, thus helping to swell the membership. The Color Guard had
been reorganized as an organization within the Society, its actions sub-
ject to a constitution and bylaws approved by the Society. They now
have a stand of 14 flags, which are insured and properly maintained.
Colonel White said he was now about to leave the office of President
with mixed emotions. Two years ago he had taken on the responsibilities
of this office with many misgivings and very much aware of his defic-
iencies. During the two years in office, if it had not been for the valu-
able help of the Society and the unceasing efforts of the Council, he
would not have been able to accomplish as much as had been done.
The President then called on Mrs. Donaghy for the Treasurer’s
report. As the complete report will be published, only the totals were
read. On motion duly made, seconded, and carried, the Treasurer’s re-
port was received and filed for audit.
The President then called on the various committees for reports.
Membership Committee
Mrs. Miller reported that on May 18, 1957 there were 912 mem-
bers; 64 members were added during the year; there were 29 deaths,
11 resignations, and 1 transfer, making the number of members 936 as
of May 15, 1958. On motion duly made, seconded, and carried, the Mem-
bership report was received and filed.
The President stated that in the interest of time he would call for
all committee reports and then have one motion.
12
Junior Membership Committee
Miss Edler reported that 186 were enrolled as junior members;
that during the past year 14 had been transferred from junior to senior
membership.
Registrar
Mrs. Wolf reported 64 papers had been submitted and approved
and 3 supplemental had been filed and several papers were outstanding.
Color Guard
Mr. Corbus reported that the stand of flags was now 14; that there
were 19 members in the Color Guard; that the Guard had held a meet-
ing that morning for reorganization under the new constitution and by-
laws; that officers were elected and regular meetings would be held;
also that plans were being formulated to bring the stand of flags up
to 25.
Publication
The President reported that the Proceedings were coming along
and that within the not too distant future the members would be re-
ceiving their copies. This annual Proceedings should be a good one as
it will contain the Huguenot ancestors used by the members of the So-
ciety; this was prepared by Mrs. Wolf and Miss Gay. Also the remainder
of the Fryburg work will be published in this issue.
Program Committee
Mr. Crispin reported for the committee, saying he played only a
small part in the work. The credit should go to Mrs. Godshall, Dr. Roak
and Dr. Sturgis as they did the lion’s share of the work.
On motion duly made, seconded, and carried, the above reports
were received and filed.
Audit Committee
Mrs. Turner reported for the Audit Committee, stating that she
and Mrs. Godshall had examined the Treasurer’s books and had found
them in order. On motion duly made, seconded, and carried, the Audi-
tors’ report was accepted.
The President then called on the Chairman of the Nominating
Committee. Dr. Sturgis read as follows;

nations be closed. A motion was made that the nomination be closed;
this motion was seconded. The motion was amended on permission of
the maker and seconded to have the Secretary cast one ballot for the
14
entire slate as submitted by the Nominating Committee. This motion
and amendment were duly seconded and passed and the ballot was
cast by the Secretary.
The President then called on the President General of the National
Society for a brief report.
Dr. Sturgis stated the National Society was coming along fine this
past year. Three new State Societies had joined. Approximately one-half
the membership of the National Society is made up of members of the
Pennsylvania Society. At the last Congress delegates from California
were present and reports had been sent from the State of Washington.
New Business
The President asked if there was any new business. He reported
that he had received a letter from Rev. Harding of Christ Church in
regard to the Church Service to be held at Old St. George’s on July 4th
in connection with Independence Square ceremonies, extending an in-
vitation to all members to attend and urging them to come out and
help with the celebration.
The President then called on the incoming President, Dr. Muckle,
and turned the meeting over to him. Dr. Muckle said it was a great
privilege to serve the Society in this capacity and that he was deeply
honored; that he had served in several different capacities in the Society
in the past 30 years and he hoped he would be able to do a good job.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned on
motion.
Respectfully submitted,
Charles Edgar Hires
Recording Secretary

IN MEMORI AM
COLONEL HENRY WHARTON SHOEMAKER
1882 1958
WHEREAS, through the death of Henry Wharton Shoemaker The
Huguenot Society of Pennsylvania and its Council have lost one of its
most outstanding and distinguished members.
Henry Wharton Shoemaker was one of those rare individuals en-
dowed with a keen insight of the world around us, which gave him a
depth of wisdom with which one seldom has the privilege to be asso-
ciated. His forceful leadership, courage, and devotion to duty, his will-
ingness to help and guide others made his presence ever valued.
He believed in this country and its Government and unselfishly
served both to the best of his ability.
He was a student, scholar, historian, and author, who, through his
many fine works brought much enjoyment and enlightenment to many
people.
The Society sadly resolves therefore that in the death of Colonel
Shoemaker we have lost a true friend, a leader, and Councilor, one we
can never replace, and we, in thoughtful prayer, give thanks to Almighty
God for having been privileged to have him with us these many years.
RESOLVED therefore, that a copy of this Resolution be placed on
record in the Society’s Proceedings.
For The Huguenot Society of Pennsylvania,
Charles Edgar Hires, President
The long voyage ended
The dream of life suspended,
A royal welcoming
From the heavenly King
In regions unexplored
Where love and lore are stored
Waiting for him to come;
His lyre was never dumb
His gift to the world was great . . .
Now he is dwelling in triumphant state
With God, fulfilled and blest
In loving and eternal rest.
Blanche Shoemaker Wagstaff Carr

COLONEL HENRY WHARTON SHOEMAKER, LITT.D.
Henry Wharton Shoemaker, Historian of The Huguenot Society

upon him by Columbia University and Franklin & Marshall College.
In his younger days he had planned to become a commercial artist and
had studied art in New York City.
He began his business career with the Cincinnati, Hamilton &

56
But the righteous Lord hath hewn the snares of the ungodly in pieces.
Let them be confounded and turned backward as many as have evil
will at Sion.
Let them be even as the grass upon the housetops, which withered afore
it be grown up.
Whereof the mower filleth not his hand, neither he that bindeth up
the sheaves his bosom.
So that they who go by say not so much as. The Lord prosper you;
we wish you good luck in the Name of the Lord.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without
end. Amen.
PSALM 130: Out of the deep I called unto thee, O Lord, hear my voice.
0 let thine ears consider well the voice of my complaint.
If thou. Lord, wilt be extreme to mark what is done amiss, O Lord,
who may abide it?
For there is mercy with thee; therefore shalt thou be feared.
1 look for the Lord; my soul doth wait for him. In his word is my trust.
My soul fleeth unto the Lord before the morning watch; 1 say, before
the morning watch.
O Israel, trust in the Lord; for in the Lord there is mercy, and with
him is plenteous redemption.
And he shall redeem Israel from all his sins.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be ,world without
end. Amen.

ADDRESS OF WELCOME TO THE SOCIETY
It is my very great privilege this morning to welcome The Huguenot
Society of Pennsylvania to this Academy in the name of its Superinten-
dent, General Baker. He has asked me to convey his personal message
of welcome to you all and regrets that only a long scheduled Trustee
Meeting prevents him from being with you himself.
These are trying days for our country and the world. Only a people
who honor their traditions, customs and beliefs will have the strength
to move into the future and hold fast to high ideals of conduct and
service in the present. The psychological warfare of today demands
men who know from whence they are sprung, and who will honor the
ideals of their forefathers by preserving them for our generation.
Your great society is made up of descendants of the gallant patriots
who followed the oriflamme of Henry of Navarre at Ivry, who fought
the battles of religious freedom in France and Europe, and who, com-
ing to the shores of this great country fought in all the wars we had to
58
wage to win and hold that freedom, and all those others we now enjoy.
Your Society is carrying out that great mission to keep alive in the minds
of all Americans, the sacrifices we too must make today if we hope to
live as Free Men!
So again, we at Valley Forge Military Academy, who also seek to
train our youth to serve their nation as gallantly as did their fathers,
welcome you and appreciate the honor of joining with you in this Mem-
orial Service 1
May the Hand of God work through us all, so that we too may join
our ancestors in a common devotion to Freedom and Service to our
Country, our Fellow Men and to our God!
RESPONSE TO COLONEL WALKER FOR THE SOCIETY
Dr. Walker:
The President of The Huguenot Society of Pennsylvania wishes me
to respond to your very gracious words of welcome. We most cordially
appreciate your invitation, and are happy to avail ourselves of the facili-
ties which you so generously put to our service. We cherish happy mem-
ories of a similar assembly of the Huguenot Society held five years ago
amid these pleasant surroundings. We therefore do not come as strangers,
but rather as friends and co-workers in making our beloved country an
ideal land in which to dwell. We feel that we have common ends and
purposes, and are therefore pleased to avail ourselves of your gracious
hospitality, and wish for your great school the highest possible success.
Dr. G. Hall Todd delivered the address of the day, "Our Heritage
from the Huguenots.”
Following the church service, the members and guests adjourned
to the Parade Grounds to watch a very colorful review given by the
Corps of Cadets.

duced the guests present.

CITATION FOR AWARD OF HONORARY HUGUENOT CROSS

After which Dr. Sturgis presented Mrs. D. Dorsey Wolf, our Regis-
trar for the bestowal of the Huguenot Cross.
CITATION FOR AWARD OF HONORARY HUGUENOT CROSS
TO MRS. D. DORSEY WOLF
Mr. President, Mr. President General, Distinguished Guests,
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Mr. President, 1 have the honor of presenting to you Mrs. Daniel
Dorsey Wolf, Registrar of our Society, for the bestowal upon her of the
Huguenot Cross, in recognition of the service which she has rendered
to The Huguenot Society of Pennsylvania, to the National Huguenot
cause, and to Society in general.
Most of us cherish a reverence for antiqutiy and believe in the
preservation of those things and places which constitute our history —
national and religious. We apply this further to include in a narrower
sense, our own past, no matter how obscure, and to record the annals
of our own clan, no matter how simple.
60
Mrs. Danikl Dohsky Woi.k
Registrar 1954-
No one will deny the value of the great lessons from the past and
the continuing inspiration from the loves and deeds of those who pre-
ceded us. In the lands of our origins, families hold fast to their relations
to the past, and carefully preserve their records and heirlooms. In Amer-
ica we do likwise. Just so the written word, when it protects from ob-
livion, the dim remembered past, becomes the heritage of the living.
All of this has Mrs. Wolf done for us — she has done it so well.
Edna Mintzer Kempton (Mrs. Daniel Dorsey Wolf) a Philadelphian
by birth is a descendant on her maternal side of Captain John DeGor-
ran, a Huguenot, who emigrated from Britany, France and settled in
Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1643.
Mrs. Wolf is the daughter of Charles Carroll and Anna Mary
(Mintzer) Kempton. Her paternal ancestry is traced back to the early
Penn and Crispin families. Her maternal ancestry stems from three pas-
sengers on the Mayflower: John Howland, John Tilly, and his daughter
Elizabeth Tilly who married John Howland.
The education of Mrs. Wolf definitely bears the stamp of the seal
of the City of her birth. Friends Central School in Philadelphia — then
a summer on the Continent studying religious art, and later, courses in
this country in heraldic art — truly a reamarkable education for one so
engaged as Mrs. Wolf has been during these many years.
In 1910 Mrs. Wolf married David Dorsey Wolf, a graduate of the
University of Pennsylvania in mechanical engineering. Mr. Wolf died
in 1945. They had two children and presently there are additionally four
grandchildren.
Throughout her life Mrs. Wolf has been engaged, actively, in civic,
social, charitable, and religious endeavors. A Baptist by faith, she served
for many years on the Board of Managers of the Baptist Home and was
President of its Auxiliary. Not only the aged but also the young were
the recipients of her services. She was a member of the Girl Scout Coun-
cil of Philadelphia and Captain of Troop No. 73 of Girl Scouts.
In the field of historical and hereditary societies she has contributed
much and has held many high offices of honor: President of the Penn-
sylvania Society Dames of Colonial Wars; President of the Court of
Pennsylvania of the Women Descendants of the Ancient and Honorable
Artillery Company; Chapter President and Registrar of the Pennsylvania
Society of the Daughters of the War of 1812; and offices in many other
societies. She is a member of the Pennsylvania Society of Mayflower
Descendants; Daughters of the American Revolution; Daughters of the
American Colonists; The Historical Society of Pennsylvania; the Na-
tional League of American Pen Women; and others.
In the Huguenot cause she has rendered possibly her greatest serv-
ices. As Registrar of our Society and as Registrar General of The Na-
tional Huguenot Society she has demonstrated her meticulous trainfng,
her keen and sound judgment, and her willingness and capacity for
work. She has enriched our Huguenot field by her genealogical writings
61
and especially have the Huguenots of Pennsylvania been benefited by
her research.
Mr. President, it gives me much pleasure, to present Mrs. Wolf,
for bestowal upon her of the Huguenot Cross with all the honor and dis-
tinction which it comprehends.

IN MEMORIAM
MISS MAY V. RICKARD
Miss May V. Rickard, 81, of 378 West Main Street, Plymouth,
member of a prominent Plymouth family and a former borough school
teacher, died January 2, I960, in Nesbitt Memorial Hospital.
Miss Rickard was a descendant of Thomas Davenport and Samuel
Ransom, who were among the first 40 settlers of the borough in 1768.
Daughter of the late Dr. Albert Gould and Liva Albertena Smith Rickard,
she was born in Plymouth, September 17, 1878. A graduate of Plymouth
High School, Class of 1894, and West Chester State Teaehers College,
Class of 1897, she taught in the borough sehools for a number of years.
An active member in eivie affairs, she was a member of the Roard
of Wyoming Valley Council of Girl Scouts and was Chairman of Camp
Onawandah. A Director of the Family Serviee Assoeiation of Wilkes-
Rarre, she was a member of New Century Club, Wyoming Valley Wom-
en’s Club, Daughters of the American Revolution, Daughters of 1812,
French Huguenot Soeiety, Wyoming Commemorative Society, and a life
member of Wyoming Monument Association.
She was also a member of the Magna Charta Dames. She was a
descendant of Riehard de Clare, Farl of Hereford, who was a surety of
the Magna Charta. She was a member of Plymouth Christian Church
and was active in church societies. She was also on the National Board
of the Christian Church and Financial Secretary of the Plymouth Church.
She founded the Free Federated Kindergarten in Plymouth and the
Plymouth Civie Club.
Survivors are sisters, Mrs. Allen B. Dungan, Forty Fort; Mrs. Harry
W. Buggies, Kingston; nieces and nephews, Mrs. Harradon Smith, Forty
Fort; Mrs. H. Melvin Vivian, Kingston; Mrs. Charles B. Shafer, Forty
Fort; Mrs. Fli Connor, Washington, D. C.; John Gould Buggies and
Harry W. Buggies, both of Dallas; Rickard Dungan, Plymouth; Donald
Rickard Hershberger, Fair Hope, Ala., and numerous great nieces and
nephews.
Greater Wilkes-Barre shared the regret of her native Plymouth in
the passing of Miss Mae V. Rickard in Nesbitt Memorial Hospital Jan-
uary 2, 1960. For while she was a member of a family, identified with
Shawnee since colonial days, her activities embraced Wyoming Valley
and even went beyond its boundaries.
True to her heritage, she pioneered in many fields, with speeial
emphasis on education and on civic and church affairs. A dozen organi-
zations leaned on her for leadership in years gone by. She commanded
respeet for her ability, initiative, and foresight. A warm personality en-
hanced her effectiveness in community undertakings.
A teacher by profession, her interest in youth was understandable.
At 81, a useful life has come to an end, but the seeds she sowed for a
half eentury have germinated and will bear fruit indefinitely.

PENNSYLVANIA REPORT TO THE NATIONAL SOCIETY
The Huguenot Society of Pennsylvania presents its greetings to the
members of this Twenty-fourth Annual Congress of The National Hugue-
not Society and submits this report for record.
The period covered in the report is from April 1, 1959 to March
31, 1960.
The Society has been very active during the past year. All the as-
semblies and the Council meetings were well attended.
The Forty-second Annual Assembly was held May 16, 1959, at
Schwenksville, Pennsylvania. The church service and annual business
meeting were held at the Heidelberg United Church of Christ. The
speaker was the Reverend William O. Moyer, who delivered a very
interesting address. After the church service the annual meeting was
held and new officers elected, a copy of which is attached. Directly
following this meeting, the Assembly adjourned to the Spring Mountain
House for luncheon. The National President General, Charles T. Mac-
donald and his wife attended, along with the First Vice President Gen-
eral, Charles M. R. Gilman.
The Autumn Assembly was held at the Old Pine Street Presbyterian
Church, Philadelphia. The address was delivered by our own Reverend
Charles E. Schaeffer. The title of the address was “The Faith, Once for
All Delivered to the Saints.” The church service was followed by a very
delightful tea.
Our membership committee has been very active; 53 new members
have been elected. Our membership as of March 5, 1960 stands at 892
members and approximately 159 junior members.
Our Publications are being worked on and Volume XXIX, con-
taining 125 pages, has been distributed. This Volume contains 93 pages
of genealogical data. Copies were forwarded to all State Societies for
their use. The Society also mailed many extra copies of past proceedings
to other State Societies for their libraries. The next two Volumes of the
proceedings, namely Volumes XXX and XXXI, will be published this
winter.
Our finances are sound; our permanent fund continues to increase.
Our Color Guard has been set up to govern itself under the guidance
of the Council. It now has its own Constitution and Bylaws. The stand
of Flags at present is 14. They have been displayed at all assemblies.
The Society has suffered the loss by death of Colonel Henry W.
Shoemaker, its second President and one of its finest members. He con-
tributed greatly to the success of the Society and his passing will be
deeply felt.
Pennsylvania has always been proud of its Huguenot heritage and
is constantly striving to further Huguenot knowledge and again pledges
its support to the National Society to accomplish its aims.
Respectfully submitted,
Charles Edgar Hires, President

OUR HERITAGE FROM THE HUGUENOTS
by
Reverend Galbraith Hall Todd, D.D.
Sermon delivered at Annual Assembly of The Huguenot Society of
Pennsylvania at the Valley Forge Military Academy, Wayne, Pa., on
Saturday, May 14, 1960
Which at the first came to Jesus by night.
John 19:39
Confessed that they were strangers.
Hebrews 11:13
And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under
the altar the souls of them which were slain for the
Word of God and for the testimony which they held.
Revelation 6:9
The term Huguenot suggests a band of confederates. In an impres-
sive sermon delivered over sixty-five years ago, the then powerful,
evangelical preacher at the Marble Collegiate Dutch Reformed Church
in New Yorb, Dr. David J. Burrell,* described the designation Huguenot
as a nursery term akin to bogey or bugaboo. The Huguenots were re-
garded as night-walkers, conducting their activities by night. They were
men and women, who after the day’s work had ended and for protection
from their vigilant enemies, retired to a secluded place where in com-
pany they engaged in the study of the Scriptures. They came to Jesus by
night. With the Huguenots we associate the Walloons. Like those pil-
grims of faith celebrated in what Dr. John Henry Jowett called the
Westminster Abbey of the Bible, the eleventh chapter of the Epistle
to the Hebrews, they confessed that they were strangers and were so
styled by the world that observed them. They were aliens to the regi-
mented social and religious order of their age, world of ecclesiastical
tyranny that it was. At length many of them met that martyrdom in-
timated in the Apocalypse and were slain for the Word of God and for
the testimony, which they held.
Recall to your minds the two centuries embraced by the heroic
days of the Huguenots in France. It was in the period of Francis I, to
whom Calvin dedicated his memorable and monumental Institutes of
the Christian Religion and who was of a vacillating temperament, now
showing large tolerance concerning the Protestants and again bent on
extirpating them from the earth. The Huguenots had their noble origin
in love of the Bible, but recently made available to the people in a
language, which they were capable of understanding. “The entrance of
* The Death Warrant of the Huguenots, a sermon comemorating the 200th anni-
versary of the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. See David J. Burrell’s “The Re-
ligion of the Future,” American Tract Society 1894.
76
Thy Word giveth light.” They assembled at eventide in groups devoted
to Bible study. They could be delineated appropriately in the passage
from the last of the Old Testament prophets, Malachi: “Then they that
feared the Lord spoke often one to another; and the Lord hearkened,
and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before Him for
them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon His name.” They
were comparable to the early Christians in Berea, described in the
seventeenth chapter of the Acts of the Apostles: “They searched the
Scriptures daily.”
In the heroic time of the Huguenots, a copy of the New Testament
fell into the hands of a wool carder of Meaux, Jean Le Clerc. The abuses
and corruptions of the Church, the unscriptural aspects of the confes-
sional, and the veneration of images became conspicuous to him. He
initiated what was to become a favorite device of the Huguenots, the
use of placards for purposes of propaganda, and placarded the parish
church, proclaiming to church and citizenry the enormities of the hier-
archy. Apprehended and taken to Paris, he was charged with heresy,
scourged in the streets, and branded with the fleur de lis. Temporarily
released, he was later rearrested for having in his possession a copy of
the Bible. His right hand was severed, his eyes gouged, his arms broken.
He was burned at the stake. As the flames rose about him, a voice was
heard imploring him, “Stand firm, a witness for the truth.” It was the
voice of his mother, who was animated with like precious faith. While
the fervid metal was eating away to the brain, he was overheard inton-
ing that ancient Trinitarian hymn of the Church, dating to the fourth
century at least, the Gloria Patri. In their propaganda warfare, a fre-
quent articulation of Huguenot doctrine was the declaration tliat there
is no sacrifice but one, namely, Jesus Christ, offered once for all. In the
space before Notre Dame, which contained in its original foundations
stones from a pagan temple of Jupiter, which in a dim and distant cen-
tury, had stood upon that site and whose sanctuary was later to be pro-
faned by the sacrileges of the French Revolution, the Bibles belonging
to the Huguenots were consigned to the flames of bonfires and Bible
readers were suspended by chains over slow fires.
One of the most prominent personages to embrace Huguenot doc-
trine was Marguerite, the sister of Francis I. Her quite voluminous let-
ters are considered a register of the thought currents of the time. A
woman of cultivation, she mastered Latin, Italian, Spanish, Greek, and
Hebrew. Dr. Thomas M. Lindsay of Glasgow referred to her as “the
pure, bright ecstatic queen of Navarre.” Contemporaries regarded her
as the violet in the royal garden. Poetic, mystical, an assiduous, diligent
Bible student, she delighted to discuss Scriptural passages, and was tliat
source of inspiration and stimulation coveted by every preacher, an avid
listener to Protestant preaching. She placed strong emphasis upon faith
uniting man with God, justification by faith and not works, the Divine
Predestination, mans absolute dependence on God, a wholesome Scrip-
77
tural esteem for, rather than the unsanctioned exaltation of the Virgin
Mary.
Another notable figure of the era was Jacques Le Fevre, known
as Stapulensis, a man of letters who shared the humanist outlook of the
Renaissance, a man of great intellectuality, who vigorously denied tran-
substantiation, held that there is no merit apart from Divine grace
( contending with Tennyson that “merit is of man to man and not of man,
O Lord, to Thee.”) and championed the availability of the open Bible
for all people.
The giant intellect of the Reformation was French in origin. John
Calvin was born in Noyon in Picardy, the city which had been the
scene of the crowning of Charlemagne. A polished French gentleman,
despite his seeming aloofness in which he may have partaken of that
attitude of reserve and detachment as the wise part of a leader, cur-
rently advocated by another stirring Frenchman, General de Gaulle, he
possessed mysterious charm and captivated the hearts of the children,
treating them with a ceremonious urbanity befitting their elders. His
successor and colaborer Beza was won to him at first when he was a
precocious boy of twelve. Logical and impassioned in style, Calvin is
considered by many to be the founder of modern French prose, even
as Luther by his translation of the Bible into German exercised a mould-
ing influence on his mother tongue. Standing before the solemn and im-
posing pile of St. Sulpice, within those venerable precincts was staged
the banquet honoring Napoleon on the occasion of his return from his
Egyptian campaign and about whose defiles clusters the memory of the
far from hallowing Bluebeard Legend, I recalled that in the adjacent
Seminary there once studied for the priesthood, Ernest Renan. Renan,
who later gave eloquent voice to his skepticism, would in no wise be
thought a biased judge, yet it was he who pronounced Calvin to be the
most Christian man of his age.
In 1555 French Protestantism was organized largely in Paris and^a
confession of faith patterned largely on a creedal statement drawn up by
Calvin became its doctrinal standard.
At the death of Francis I secret if not avowed Protestants were to
be found diffused in every French province save Brittany. In 1559, Char-
les IV came to the throne a mere boy and both he and the state were
dominated by Catherine de Medici of the renowned Florentine family,
who had made an alliance with the Guises. Cardinal de St. Croix con-
ceded the fact that France was half -Huguenot. Admiral Coligny informed
the Queen Mother that the French Protestants had two thousand churches
and 400,000 men capable of bearing arms.
There came that terrible day when the Duke of Guise leading his
army through the village of Vassy heard the strains of hymns issuing
from a barn. There the Huguenots, after the fashion followed later in
Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, by Otterhein, the founder of the United
Brethren Church, and his followers, had assembled for Divine worship
78
within the rude shelter of a barn. The Duke ordered his soldiers to raid
that crude and improvised house of worship. When they had com-
pleted their cruel depredations, sixty men were numbered among the
slain and two hundred souls lay on the floor in dire agony. On his re-
turn to Paris, the Duke was acclaimed as a contender for the faith and
Te Deums were chanted to hail his signal victory over a defenseless
company of the devout overtaken at prayer.
The frightful climax of the persecution was reached on a day that
lives in infamy, even among those who remain in the ancient church,
which perpetuated its bloodshed. Standing opposite the eastern entrance
of that repository of art treasures, the Louvre, is the Church of St. Ger-
main LWuxerrois. In the small hours of Sunday morning, August 24,
1572, the bell of that Church sounded as the signal for the massacre
of the Huguenots. The massacre had been instigated by Due Henri de
Guise, desirous of revenge on Admiral Coligny, and the Italian widow
of Henry II, Catherine de Medici, the daughter of the gifted but immoral
Lorenzo de Medici of Florence and the mother of three French kings.
She was defended by the novelist Balzac on the ground that being a
woman she could only maintain her influence and control by the exercise
of those arts of which her countryman, Nicholas Machiavelli was the
principal exponent and who further asserted that she held her place
proudly among diverse and conflicting forces “like a great monarch,”
living “chaste amid the amorous intrigues of the mast gallant court in
Europe.”
Throngs of Huguenots had gathered in Paris for the royal wedding
of Margaret of Valois, daughter of Henry II and of Catherine de Medici,
and Henry of Navarre, the first of the Bourbon line. Admiral Coligny
was the first to fall at the hand of his assassin, the Due de Guise, in the
Hotel de Ponthieu. The blood-thirsty cries resounded through the Par-
isian streets, “Kill, Kill — Down with the Huguenots.” Massacres pre-
vailed in Paris that St. Bartholomew’s Day and for three days thereafter.
100,000 Huguenots went to their deaths in that sanguinary time.
Among those Huguenots who escaped the edge of the sword were
the King’s surgeon, Ambroise Pare, the royal nurse, Philippe Richard,
and Renee de France, daughter of Louis XII, a zealous Calvinist \('ho
sheltered some of her coreligionists in her palace on the left bank of
the Seine.
When the tidings of this tragic wiping out of some of the most sub-
stantial people of France, chief among whom was Admiral Gaspard do
Coligny, noble in blood and character, reached the eternal city on th(^
banks of the Tiber, the cannons boomed from Hadrians Toml), which
had already stood as the fortress or castle of San Antonio, looking much
like a rib-roast of beef for long centuries. A fresco was imposed on the
walls of tlie Sistine Chapel to mark the successful murder of Coligny.
In 1598 the Huguenot, Henry IV ascended the French throne. Ho
issued a manifesto encouraging as well as sanctioning Bible reading and
79
defending the rights of individual conseience in matters of worship. For
twelve years the land had rest and the forces of Protestantism flourished.
The new freedom was not without papal protest. Tragically, Henry IV
fell victim to assassins and the government passed into the hands of
Marie de Medici, who had as her powerful and vicious ally. Cardinal
Richelieu. A new persecution descended upon the Huguenots. Their
churches were destroyed. A law was decreed that the bodies of persons,
who had not received extreme unction in the hour of dying, should be
cast into the public sewer. On October 22, 1685, the Edict of Nantes was
revoked. Five hundred thousand of the most industrious and intelligent
citizens of France left their ancestral soil in what was comparable to
the diaspora of Israel among the Gentile nations following the Babylon-
ian captivity. As a result other nations were enriched permanently by that
of which France was bereft.
II.
Having reviewed the story of the Huguenots in France, let us pause
to observe the impact they made upon other countries, notably the
United States of America.
Many of the Huguenots found asylum in the Netherlands, where
they built up the industrial life of the nation, in particular, the potteries
of Delft, and where their names are still to be seen on the shops of the
Hague. In the university city of Leyden there is a vast catalog of a
million or more names of Huguenot and Walloon emigres, constituting
a remarkable source of genealogical data.
Many of the Huguenots found refuge in Switzerland, where they
pursued the occupations of artisans and weavers. Others went to Ger-
many and their imprint was marked in any roster of the names of the
prominent officers of the Franco-Prussian War. Large numbers repaired
to England, where they fought valiantly for freedom and established
large industries, especially in Manchester.
Frederick W. Faber, who left the Anglican Ghurch and entered
the Roman communion, never obscured his Huguenot inheritance, as he
attested by his poetry, dealing with such thoroughly Galvinistic themes
as predestination. Once in the city of Dubland, Ireland, I visited the
tomb of the Anglican archbishop and poet, Richard Ghevenix Trench,
whose middle name witnesses an unmistakable Huguenot strain.
The Pilgrims contained in their number persons of Huguenot back-
ground; among them, the Soule family and Priscilla Mullins, celebrated
in Longfellow’s The Courtship of Miles Standish. The man, who is held
by many to have been the original white settler of Pennsylvania was a
Huguenot, Jesse De Forest, who in 1623 had his habitat on the banks
of the Delaware.
Peter Minuit, the earliest settler of Delaware was of the same
origin. William Penn received an impressive segment of his education
in the Huguenot school at Saumur, France, under Moses Amyrault, as
Dr. Samuel B. Sturgis has informed us in a significant article. Here
80
in this area, we find Huguenot names, for example, Marcus Hook,
named for Marcus Huling, a Huguenot, who came by way of Sweden,
and Boyertown. New York has its suburb of New Rochelle. Some of the
denizens of the quaint cloisters of Ephrata, Pennsylvania, were of
Huguenot past.
Scanning through a cross section of notable Americans, one dis-
covers the Huguenot past in such varied personages as the Cabots of
Boston; John Jay, the first chief justice of the Supreme Court; Michael
Hillegas, Henry Laurens, Francis Marion, and Pickens of colonial South
Carolina, Paul Revere, the Danas, Elias Boudinot of the Continental
Congress, Sevier, the first governor of Tennessee, Jacob Duche, chap-
lain of the Continental Congress, David Crockett, Stephen Decatur.
The De Costas, DeLanceys, Duponts, Matthew Fontaine Maury, John
J. Audubon, Chauncey M. DePew, Commodore Thomas McDonough of
the War of 1812, Admiral Winfield S. Schley, General John F. Reynolds
of the Civil War, General John J. Pershing, Admiral George Dewey, Gov-
ernor James A. Beaver, of Pennsylvania and his deeply religious son,
Hugh Beaver. In the Philadelphia area the name Levering was of
Huguenot origin. Among the Presidents of that heritage were Tyler,
Grant, Garfield ( through his mother’s family of Ballous ) , and the Roose-
velts. Theodore Roosevelt’s son, Quentin, numbered among the slain in
World War I, bore the name of a French Huguenot emigre.
The Southern Presbyterian Church had as one of its outstanding
theologians in the last century, a man whose name denotes his roots.
Dr. John L. Girardeau. There were the two Hosea Ballous, the elder
being the granduncle of the latter, both of them leaders in the Univer-
salist Church. Maturin Murray Ballou, son of the younger Universalist
clergyman, Hosea, was the founder of one of America’s first illustrated
journals, which bore his name.
The Greenleaf in the poet Whittier’s name suggests that line of
ancestry. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles was so descended on the
direct male line. Many of our educational institutions bear the nomen-
clatures of donors of that lineage — Bowdoin; Vassar; and Roberts Col-
lege in Istanbul is indebted to Christopher Roberts of a Huguenot family.
Henry Cabot Lodge, who was of the Huguenot line, commented that
in proportion to their number the Huguenots produced and gave the
American Republic more men of ability than any other race.
HI.
Our legacy from the Huguenots is more than that of names, how-
ever illustrious and distinguished the personages who bore them. It is
above all else the faith, which they bequeathed to us.
We are the beneficiaries of their Protestantism. When we recall
their Protestant principles, we think of the separation of Church and
State, the right of every individual to worship as well as think accord-
ing to the dictates of conscience, their conviction that every Christian
81
believer is in his own inalienable right a priest, having been granted the
privilege of coming directly to his God apart from the intervention of
any intermediary, save Christ, the Only Mediator between God and
man. We should never be ashamed to confess openly our Protestant con-
victions. America could not have existed as the land of liberty we love
and cherish had it not been for her Protestant founders.
The Huguenots rooted and grounded and nourished their faith and
life in the Holy Scriptures. If we are to enter into the inheritance be-
queathed to us by them, we need a recovery of emphasis on the Bible
as the Word of God. The Huguenots honored the Bible as their supreme
authority in all matters of faith. It is not the Church nor is it human opin-
ion, however ripe with wisdom, but the Scriptures, which should con-
stitute the source and basis of our creed and conduct. The Huguenots
did not merely recognize the authority of the Bible. They were most
diligent students of the Bible’s sacred contents. In our church and our
preaching as well as in the quietness of our homes and our own cham-
bers we should return to an earnest and devoted study of the too much
neglected Bible. In a time of shameful and far-reaching Biblical illiteracy,
I urge you to restore the Holy Writ, which was above all else responsible
for the moral majesty and spiritual force of your Huguenot progenitors,
to its rightfully supreme position in your churches, your homes, and
your own hearts.
As we linger in grateful memory about the heritage of Huguenot
faith, it will be noted that foremost in their teaching and worship was
the exaltation of Jesus Christ, the Eternal Son of God, who bore the
Second Name in Heaven, and for us men and for our salvation came
down from heaven and was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin
Mary and was made man. The Huguenot fathers emphasized Christ’s
Meritorious Passion, the finality of His perfect sacrifice on the Cross,
and the sufficiency of that sacrifice as the sole way of redemption from
sin, and peace with God.
Children of the Huguenots, who loved the Bible as their chief treas-
ure, assiduously studying its pages, and were slain for the Word of God
and their testimony to Protestantism, clinging ever to their hope of the
mercy of Christ the Crucified, hold fast to your inheritance from the
ancestors whose blood courses in your veins and whose faith is living
still in your hearts. Give answer to the foes of the faith of your Huguenot
fathers as Naboth replied to wicked and covetous King Ahab: “The
Lord forbid it me that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto
thee.”

flags, the wrong ones arrived so they could not be carried), followed by
Officers and Members of Council. The music was excellent, conducted

of Old Swedes and the Part the Church Played in Early History.

After the Church Service the Annual Meeting was held in the As-
sembly Room in the Church.
The Annual Meeting of the Society was held in the Chapel of the
Arch Street Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, at 11:00
A.M.
President Hires called the meeting to order and asked Rev. Seldom-
ridge to give the prayer. The President announced that a quorum was
present.
The President then entertained a motion that the reading of the
minutes of the last Annual Meeting be dispensed with, since they would
be printed in the next Proceedings. The motion was duly made, seconded
and carried.
The President then asked for the Treasurer’s report, a copy of which
is attached hereto. Mr. Markel, the Treasurer, gave a brief reiiort to
the membership.
The President then called for the Auditors’ report. Mr. Walton re-
ported the Committee had seen the Treasurer’s Report but had not as
yet had a chance to make the final audit. However, since the report
had been prepared by a certified public accountant, he recommended
that the Treasurer’s Report be received and filed, subject to final audit
by the Committee. On motion duly made, seconded, and carried, the re-
port was received, subject to final audit.
The President then thanked the Treasurer for a fine job.
The President then made a short report.
Preside nfs Report
1 wish to thank the Council for the fine work they have done in
helping me with the many tasks I have had to perform during the past
two years. Without their able help the work would have never Ix^en
completed.
89
I have attended the Assemblies and the Council Meetings as well
as the National Council Meetings and the Annual Congresses.
The Society has progressed, but not as rapidly as I would have liked.
We are lacking in a few fields; I hope this may be corrected in the com-
ing year. We need to become more active in worthwhile projects, such
as Huguenot landmarks, essays, etc.
I am sorry the Proceedings are not in your hands today. This is a
project which, with the aid of various members, will be completed this
summer.
I hope the new Officers and Council Members will be active and
help us support the endeavors which we undertake in the year to come.

dent made a short report and thanked the members of the Committee

then called for any new business. There being no new business, the

port of the Nominating Committee.
Mr. Rothermel asked Dr. Sturgis to make his report as Chairman
of the Nominating Committee. Dr. Sturgis read the report, copy of

larly glad to have Miss Jane Crispin serving on the board; he had been
very fond of her father, Frederic Swing Crispin, who had given so much
to the Society, and now it was only fitting and proper that his daughter

CITATION FOR AWARD OF HONORARY HUGUENOT CROSS
TO REVEREND ROBERT B. WHYTE, D.D., LL.D.
As an "alien from the commonwealth of Israel” in so far as mem-
bership in the Huguenot Society is concerned, though I count some
Walloons among my forebears, I deem it a high honor to be invited to
make this citation. It is with special pride and delight that I present to
you my distinguished and cherished friend, the Rev. Dr. Robert B.
Whyte, of Spring Lake, New Jersey.
A Canadian by birth, with a long Scottish heritage. Dr. Whyte began
his outstanding career in the ministry in his native city of Toronto. Three
notable pastorates were to follow: first, in the heart of the capital city
of his native land, Ottawa; then in the old Calvary Presbyterian Church
of Philadelphia, where he came to the pulpit of that stately house of
worship in the succession of the brilliant and profound J. Sparhawk
Jones; then in the Old Stone Church, the First Presbyterian Society of
Cleveland, Ohio, where he served in that oldest and most famed church
of the city, whose venerable edifice stands at the most conspicuous site
in the entire city, for over twenty years.
For some thirty years. Dr. Whyte has won widespread distinction
and admiration for his annual summer ministry in the Spring Lake Pres-
byterian Church.
By his authorship of two books, "The Sins That Crucified Him” and
"Personalities Behind the Psalms,” as well as other printed discourses.
Dr. Whyte has given permanent form to what has been so manifest in
his pulpit utterances that he has the gift of eloquence in a superb degree
94
and is a master not only in the knowledge of our English literature but
of a magnificent literary style.
It is for his ringing, dramatic, and impressive articulation of the
great religious and moral principles espoused and exemplified by your
Huguenot ancestors, that you have chosen to confer this signal honor
upon him today.
It is with much happiness and pride that I now present to you my
valued friend, at whose feet I have learned so much. Dr. Robert B.
Whyte.
The President tlien called upon Honorary President Macdonald,
who presented President General Gilman with the rest of his insignia,
which had not been completed at the time of the National Gongress. Dr.
Gilman then read a very learned paper on The History of the Huguenot
Movement in Europe and America, after which the Annual Assembly
was ended.
REGEPTION AND LUNGHEON
The reception and luncheon was held in the large dining hall of the
Robert Morris Hotel in Philadelphia. The tables were arranged attrac-
tively around the room. The Society is indebted to the Gommittee for
the great success of the luncheon. Mrs. B. Ross Rurritt and Mr. John
Gorbus did an excellent job in seating the members and their guests.
There were approximately 100 members and guests present.
President Hires called on the Ghaplain, Rev. Seldomridge for the
invocation.
Following the luncheon, the President introduced the members and
guests at the head table. The Society was honored to have many of the
National Officers present: Honorary Presidents General Sturgis and
Macdonald, President General Gilman, First Vice President General
White, Registrar General Mrs. Wolf, Treasurer General Koehler, Or-
ganizing Secretary General Mrs. Riddle, President of the New Jesey
Society Mr. Phillips, Honorary President Rev. Gharles E. Schaeffer and
Mrs. Schaeffer, Ghaplain and Mrs. Seldomridge.
The President then introduced the new members present, as well
as Miss Applegate, who acted as Page for the Assembly.
Dr. G. Hall Todd, minister of the Arch Street Presbyterian Ghurch,
and recipient of the Honorary Huguenot Gross, then read the citation
for his friend. Dr. Robert B. Whyte, our speaker of the day. The Presi-
dent then presented Dr. Whyte with the Honorary Huguenot Gross,
after which Dr. Whyte thanked the Society for their graciousness.
The President then called on Dr. Gilman, President General of the
National Society for a few words. On completion of his remarks the
meeting was adjourned with the benediction.

IN ME MORI AM
FREDERIC SWING CRISPIN
September 26, 1883 November 6, 1960
WHEREAS through the death of Frederic Swing Crispin The
Huguenot Society of Pennsylvania and its Council has lost one of the
most loyal and dedicated members.
Frederic Swing Crispin was a man of many talents, being an edu-
cator, genealogist, historian, engineer, and writer. He excelled in all of
these interests.
He was a truly religious man, a loyal American, and a fine friend.
He worked tirelessly to instill in others these fine attributes. His en-
thusiasm for these principals endeared him to all who knew him.
He had a great breadth of experience which he had gained through
the many years of a very useful life. His leadership, courage, and self-
sacrifice were ever present in his contacts with his fellow man.
His great genealogical background helped many in their search for
truth of the past. As a genealogist, he was par excellence.
The Society therefore sadly resolves that on the death of Frederic
Swing Crispin, it has lost a noble character, one of its ablest leaders,
a true friend, and we thank God for having been permitted to have
known him and worked with him these many years. His kind counsel,
astute wisdom, and seasoned advice will be greatly missed; his memory
will continue to be an inspiration and challenge in all our endeavors.
C. Edgar Hires
FREDERIC SWING CRISPIN
Frederic Swing Crispin, son of James Hewes Crispin and Anabel
Swing Crispin, was born in Salem, New Jersey, September 26, 1883.
On his father’s side he came from a long line of Quaker ancestors,
dating from the time of William Penn, to whom the Crispins were closely
related.
The Crispin line in America began with Silas Crispin (1655-1771)
son of Captain William Crispin of the Royal Navy, who had been ap-
pointed by William Penn, his cousin, to serve as Chief Justice and
Surveyor General of Pennsylvania, but who died on the voyage to
America.
Silas Grispin in the Spring of 1682 settled in what is now Northeast
Philadelphia, between Fox Chase and Beth Ayres.
Frederic S. Crispin attended grade schools of Salem, New Jersey,
leaving high school in his senior year to enter the Williamson Trade
School, where he graduated in 1903 as machinist and draftsman. More
than a year later, he enrolled at Drexel Institute from whieh he grad-
uated in 1906. He next attended Temple University while teaching in
the Philadelphia School System. In 1913 he obtained the degree of
106
Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering and in 1940 the technical de-
gree of Civil Engineer.
In 1906, following his graduation from Drexel Institute he was
appointed Instructor in Shops and Drawing at the Northeast High
School, which was the beginning of forty-six years of continuous teach-
ing for him in the Philadelphia School System.
From 1915 to 1927 he was instructor in Mechanical Drawing in
Germantown High School. In 1927 on the opening of the Simon Gratz
High School he became head of the Department of Industrial Arts, and
continued in this position until his retirement in 1951.
After retiring from the Public Schools, he filled a part-time assign-
ment from 1951 to 1954 as instructor in Engineering, Drawing and Lec-
turer at the Ogontz Center of the Pennsylvania State University.
In addition to his educational activities, Mr. Crispin was from 1916
to 1920 Consulting Engineer for the Vim Motor Truck Company. He
has written several published textbooks on Mechanical Drawing and
in 1929 published the first edition of his “Dictionary of Technical
Terms” (Bruce Publishing Co.), which met with such success that it
was enlarged and revised from time to time. There have been eight edi-
tions and several reprints published.
In his younger life, Mr. Crispin was an avid sportsman. As a boy
and in early adult life, when he lived in Salem, which is situated on the
Salem River close to the Delaware River, he engaged in boating, fishing,
swimming, and gunning. During the past thirty years his special hobby
had been historical and genealogical research. In the latter field he be-
came a pre-eminent, professional genealogist. In recognition of his work
he was made a Fellow of the Genealogical Society of Pennsylvania. In
addition to his private researches he was genealogist for many patriotic
and hereditary societies in which he held membership. His interest
in the Huguenot Society is known to us. He was genealogist of the Baron-
ial Order of Magna Charta; Past Governor of The Swedish Colonial So-
ciety; for many years an officer of the Military Order of the Crusades.
He was a member of the Welsh Society of Philadelphia, The Penn Club,
The Colonial Society of Pennsylvania, American Institute of Genealogy,
Historical Society of Pennsylvania, and The Genealogical Society of
Pennsylvania.
The lineage of Mr. Grispin as recorded in World Nobility & Peer-
age, 87th VoL, is as follows: “In 1902 Mr. Grispin married Kathryn
Butler. They have two daughters: Jane Crispin and Mary Holme (Mrs.
Oscar Jonsson), and four grandchildren.”
Mr. Crispin, as Vice President and later Honorary Member of
Council, has served the Society with distinction, for which he was
deeply honored.
(A more complete biography appears in Vol. XXVIII of the Pro-
ceedings, on page 50).

THE MYSTIC CHORD OF MEMORY
by
Rev. Robert B. Whyte, D.D., LL.D.
My first word must be one of warm appreciation of the honor and
privilege accorded me by the invitation to address you today. My pleas-
ure in accepting is increased by the happy circumstances that you are
meeting this year in the church of which my gifted and valued friend,
Dr. G. Hall Todd, is the distinguished and dedicated minister.
My subject is “The Mystic Chords of Memory” and my text is the
8th verse of the 8th chapter of the Book of Job. “Inquire, I pray thee,
of the former age.” On this occasion these words come to us with the
force and directness of a personal appeal. The magic of memory causes
ancestral voices to speak with the soul. The winds of recollection blow
upon the embers of our veneration for the past and make of them a
flame. “A man with a poor memory,” said Richard Rothe, “is literally
a poor man.” When the pages of the past become blank for us, when
events and personaHties of the days of yore are buried in oblivion, many
of the richest and noblest inspirations of life are lost. True we live in
quite a different world from our forefathers, and we are disinclined to
let the dead hand of the past weigh too heavily upon us. But the past
has a living hand also, and if we aspire to write a fresh chapter in the
book of life worth perusal by our descendants, we cannot afford to
ignore the well-thumbed pages preceding it. For truth has no date-mark.
Certain great changeless laws forever undergird the changing movements
of mankind; and while beyond doubt, age after age we ought to grow
into their fuller apprehension and their wiser embodiment, all talk about
progress becomes a farce if we begin to think that the hour has now
struck for growing out of them. We need to heed the admonition of
our text: “Inquire, I pray thee, of the former age.”
One of the greatest periods of history is the period of the French
Huguenots. To that period we owe one of the fundamental rights which
constitute our Protestant heritage — the right of dissent, the right to
say “no.” The establishment of this right cost scores of thousands of
people their lives, but by their sacrifices they bequeathed to us relig-
ious freedom. “The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church” and
we today sit in the shade and shelter of that great blood-nourished tree
of religious liberty which sprang therefrom.
I am not going to attempt to review the long, tragic, heroic story
of the persecution, suffering, martyrdom, treachery, inflicted upon the
Huguenots by their enemies, or even to relate the best known instance
of it — the massacre of St. Bartholomew on the night of the 24th of
August, 1572 — for this audience is perfectly familiar with it. I shall
however inquire briefly of the age of the Huguenots in order to learn
lessons of timeless significance.
108
For one thing it speaks to us of the noble worth of so-called ordinary
men and women. While the French Huguenots could boast of leaders
o special prominence and distinction whose names immortality has
taken out of times careless keeping into her own unsleeping care —
such as John Calvin, Theodore deBeza, Coligny, and many other
outstanding Frenchmen of the era, yet their history proclaims the ac-
complishments of a multitude of obscure and unknown men and women
who in Lowelhs lines are
The unknown good that rest
In God s still memory, folded deep.
Without them the French Huguenots would not have attained the
distinction they enjoy in the annals of religious freedom. To them all we
py the tribute of our gratitude and praise. Sometimes we are bedazzled
by the man of vast wealth, of exalted rank, of regal gifts, but for the
final adjudication and the supreme coronation we reserve our franchise
for the man or the woman who has served, whether in lofty or lowly
p aces or ways. We gladly and gratefully acknowledge that the true
blood royal is found only in their veins who have contributed to the
utmost of their ability and opportunity to our material and moral and
intellectual and spiritual progress; who, though little known, have spent
lavishly life’s bright morning, prevailed over the long afternoon made
the evening itself the season of happiest toil and have come at last
beneath the harvest moon of death, bringing with them those sheaves
invisible, and chanting with secret rapture that exultant song which is
learned alone through sacrifice and love. The standards of honor or dis-
honor abide the same forever. As it was said two thousand years ago so
must it still be said, "He that would be the greatest of all, let him’ be
the servant of all.” When we think of the men and women who served
and struggled and sacrificed even unto death in order that religious free-
dom might survive and flourish and conquer, we are taught the incom-
parable value and worth of so-called ordinary men and women It was
because of their devotion to their church that one of their great leaders
Theodore deBeza, was able' to say to Henry HI when that monarch
threatened to lay heavy hands upon the young church, “It will become
your majesty to remember that this is an anvil which has out-worn
many hammers.”
For another thing, when we inquire of the former age of the Huguc-
nots we have a deeper realization of the supremacy of character and
aith. These represent eternal values which are independent of changes
of an external kind. Scientific and material progress unmatched by moral
and spiritual advancement is a futility and indeed a menace. Still do
we need with an undying need the character and faith of the noble
dead whose memory we revere today.
109
If we trod the deeps of ocean, if we struck the stars in rising,
If we wrapt the world intently in our hot electric breath,
’Twere but power within our tether, no new spirit-power comprising.
And in life we are not greater men, nor bolder men in death.
Our scientific achievements reached their peak in the splitting of
the atom and the conquest of space. Since we know that the ability to
split the atom can be employed both for unprecedented service to man-
kind and for unprecedented slaughter of mankind we are not sure
whether it will be remembered as a day-spring from on high or a lurid
glare from the infernal regions. Likewise, since it has been demonstrated
by a Russian and an American that it is possible to fly hundreds of miles
above the earth at the rate of 15,000 miles an hour and since this ac-
complishment holds the promise of being able to land on the moon or
on planets vastly larger than our own and since we are warned that the
conquest of space can be used either for the development or the destruc-
tion of our earth and the inhabitants thereof, we wonder whether this
scientific triumph is a boon or a bane. More than ever do we need the
faith of our fathers.
Sometimes it is asserted that the new conceptions of space and time
have made it impossible to believe as the Huguenots believed in God s
concern for the individual. Space has become so enormously enlarged
that a single human life becomes quite insignificant and it is not easy
to maintain a belief in the worth and dignity of personality or in God’s
care for the individual life. The most momentous of earthly events seem
to dwindle into insignificance when we remember that our earth is but
an infinitesimal part of the universe, that as Sir James Jeans wrote in
his book, “This Mysterious Universe,” some thirty years ago — “A few
stars are known which are hardly bigger than the earth, but the majority
are so large that hundreds of thousands of earths could be packed inside
each and leave room to spare; here and there we come upon a giant star
large enough to contain millions of millions of earths. And the total
number of stars in the universe is probably something like the total
number of grains of sand on all the seashores of the world.”
Or think of what the new conception of time has done to our re-
ligious faith. Scientists talk of human habitation having existed on our
planet for millions of years. We are told that there are more than two
billion of us on the earth. And when you represent yourself by the figure
1 and draw a line below it — it will be a long line before you are through
— and then make the denomination 2,000 million, plus all the generations
who have lived and died, plus the untold millions in possibly inhabited
worlds infinitely larger than our own — you feel distinctly lonesome sit-
ting on top of a denomination like that. You are just a vulgar fraction,
and the infinite God seems impossibly remote, too much occupied with
vast solar systems and the operation of eternity to notice one little life.
But after all what is there in this new conception of the universe
to make us abandon our Ghristian faith. Very bluntly and briefly let
110
me answer — there is nothing in it. In all the discoveries of science there
is nothing inimical to faith. There is simply an attempt to browbeat and
terrorize the imagination. There is nothing in the nature of an argument
addressed to the reason. Besides, to say that the greatness of God re-
moves Him from any concern for our personal affairs is really to deny
His greatness, for if God is not, as Jesus said He was, perpetually cog-
nizant and conscious of every sparrow that falleth to the ground and
every human life anywhere in space or time. He is to that extent less
than great. So far from feeling lost to view by the infinite God, we should
rather revel in His greatness, singing with Sidney Lanier in his poem,
“The Marshes of Glynn”:
As the marsh hen builds her a nest on the watery sod.
Behold I will build me a nest on the greatness of God;
I will fly in the greatness of God as the marsh hen flies
In the freedom that fills all the spaee ’twixt the marsh and the sky.
By so many roots as the marsh grass sends in the sod,
I will heartily lay me a hold on the greatness of God.
But, after all, it is Ghrist that we find the God of love who cares for
individuals. When we look to Him we find revealed the infinite worth
of personality in the eyes of a God of individuals. Jesus spoke of God
and to God as a loving Father. “If ye,” He said, “being evil, know how
to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your heav-
enly Father” —
Now an earthly father does not regard his children collectively, but
individually. A friend of mine who had ten children lost one by drown-
ing. No one of his friends was so lacking in insight as to attempt to
comfort him by saying, “You have only lost one-tenth of your family.”
He hadn’t lost one-tenth of anything — he had lost a son. And Jesus
has revealed to us that God looks upon us not in the mass, but upon
each individual soul.
If we accept Christ’s conception of God and of man, as our fathers
did, then the discoveries of modern science will not prove incompatible
with faith. Listening to the scientists and listening to Christ, we insist
that it is less honoring to God to say, “He is too great to care for my
insignificant life,” than to say, “Your Heavenly Father knoweth that ye
have need of these things.” This was the faith which supported the
Huguenots and gave them victory in their struggle for religious freedom
against powerful and ruthless adversaries. It is the faith which alone
can give us victory in our vastly different but no less difficult circum-
stances.
I shall conclude with a suggestion regarding the celebration of the
massacre of St. Bartholomew’s night August 24, 1572, instituted under
Charles IX by Catherine de Medici and the Guises, a massacre which
for treachery, barbarism, suffering, and extent has few equals in the
blood-stained annals of human degradation and infamy. Tlie suggestion
regarding the celebration of it is not original with me. I am indebted
111
for it to a newspaper article by the Rev. E. M. Howse, a Toronto min-
ister whom I have never met, but for whom I feel friendship and grati-
tude for his book of sermons on some plays of Shakespeare and for
articles in newspapers and religious magazines. My scrapbook for the
year 1957 contains an article by Dr. Howse in which, after reminding
its readers that the traditional commemoration of St. Bartholomew's
Eve has been solely one of reviving old wrongs and hatreds, tells how
their habits for increasing numbers has been broken by a remarkable
priest, L’Abbe Paul Courturior. A few years ago Father Courturior com-
memorated the return of St. Bartholomew’s Day with an act of public
worship which made a profound spiritual impact upon both Roman
Catholics and Protestants. He celebrated a mass of reparation asking
God’s forgiveness for the massacre and for all other wrongs committed
by his church against the Huguenots. The following year he observed
the same mass and this time a number of other priests followed his
example. The third year witnessed another result. Certain Protestant
ministers held services to make confession of their church’s share in the
sins of the past and their guilt in the murderous battles against Roman
Catholics and to ask God’s forgiveness for their share of the appalling
violence of the wars of religion, of which the ultimate consequence was
a France alienated almost completely from the Christian Church, either
Roman Catholic or Protestant.
The idea has spread. Thanks to the spiriutal sensitivity of one dedi-
cated priest each succeeding commemoration of St. Bartholomew’s Day
in France has seen a growing number of Roman Catholic priests and
Protestant ministers turn an historic occasion of animosity into a time
for mutual penitence. L’Abbe Courturior has also been the inspiration
of other acts of a like nature.
Surely no one will deny that every church has been guilty of atti-
tudes and actions for which penitence is appropriate. But we are less
aware of our own imperfections than of the faults of others. Sir Winston
Churchill, in a sardonic moment made this witty and cutting comment —
“Mr. Attlee is a modest man, but then he has so much to be modest
about.” We are apt to be so keenly aware that other denominations have
so much to be modest about and so much to be guilty^ about, that we
fail to find reason for a reasonable amount of penitence in our o\vn
fold. The action of the L’Abbe Courturior may suggest to us to have
a moratorium upon our own accusations and a period of penitence for
our own lack of humihty and our own excess of hostility. We cannot
gloss over the well-nigh unbelievable cruelty and conscienceless barbar-
ism of the Roman Catholic Church against the Huguenots, nor the un-
surpassed heroism and glorious triumph of the Huguenots by wliich re-
ligious liberty was preserved. Inquire, I pray thee of the former age and
learn its lessons, that we too may bequeath to those who come after
us the generous inheritance of a more Christian civihzation, a time of
peace on earth, good will among all men.

PENNSYLVANIA REPORT TO THE NATIONAL SOCIETY
Twenty-fifth Annual Congress
April 1961
The Huguenot Society of Pennsylvania presents its greetings to the
members of the 25th Annual Congress of the National Huguenot Society
and submits the following report.
The period covered will be from April 1, 1960 to March 31, 1961.
The Society has been active during the past year and meetings and
assemblies were well attended.
The 43rd Annual Assembly was held May 4, 1960 at Valley Forge
Military Academy in Wayne, Pa. The Church Service was held in the
Chapel of St. Cornelius, the Centurion, on the campus. The speaker was
Dr. G. Hall Todd of the Arch Street Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia.
He delivered a very interesting and informative address. The service
was followed by a military review, after which the members had a de-
lightful luncheon, followed by the annual business meeting. Two Hon-
orary Huguenot Crosses were bestowed. Mrs. D. Dorsey Wolf, State
Registrar and Registrar General, and Dr. G. Hall Todd were the re-
cipients.
The Autumn Assembly was held at Old Swedes Church, Rridgeport,
Pa., which was celebrating its 200th anniversary. The address was de-
livered by Rev. William P. C. Loane, the church pastor. It was very
interesting and informative. He told about the history and the part the
church had played in the struggle of this, then young country of ours.
Our Membership Committee has been active; 93 members have
been elected, two of these to life membership. The membership now
stands at approximately 900. We are in the process of reorganizing our
records, so that they can be checked easily. We now have approximately
195 junior members.
Our Publications are still being worked on, but due to unforseen
difficulties, have not been completed. We hope this work will be done
by summer.
Our finances are sound.
Our Color Guard has been active, participating in all functions.
The Society has suffered a great loss by the death of Frederic Swing
Crispin, one of its Past First Vice Presidents and guiding lights. He con-
tributed greatly to the success of the Society and his passing will be
deeply felt.
Pennsylvania has always been proud of its Huguenot heritage and
is constantly striving to further Huguenot knowledge and again pledges
its support to the National Society to accomplish its aims.
Respectfully submitted,
Charles Edgar Hires
President

ADDITIONAL BOOKS
The Trail of the Black Walnut, by G. Elmore Reaman, published
by McClelland & Stewart, Limited.
This book deals with migration of the Pennsylvania Dutch from
Pennsylvania through New York State to Canada. There is quite a bit of
Huguenot material in this book.
Dr. Reaman is about to publish a new book, “The Trail of the
Huguenot Cross.” It will contain some 300 pages with illustrations.
Two things have been discovered about the migration of Huguenots.
One, no comprehensive study of these migrations has been made for
perhaps 50 years. Secondly, knowledge of this group is largely regional.
For instance the British Isles know very little about the Huguenot mi-
grations to America and vice versa. What is more, no study has ever been
made of the contribution that the Huguenots have made to Canada.
“The Trail of the Huguenot Cross” is an effort to rectify this lack
of knowledge. Furthermore, research proves that Canada owes its dis-
covery to French Huguenots and was controlled by them for the first
100 years. Also that a large number of persons with Huguenot back-
ground have migrated from the English Colonics and settled in Ontario
beginning as early as 1776. Many persons of Huguenot ancestry have
made outstanding contributions to Canada.
This book was undertaken with the assistance of the Societies of
the London Huguenot Society, and the author has been elected a Fellow
of that Society.
Any persons interested in this project, may contact Dr. Reaman at
the University of Waterloo, Ontario.
